You'll either find your own for sale on e-bay or stuck to a local Jetta...

It happened to me. I got pissed. Then I gto a replacement at
http://www.handaaccessories.com/

They sell OEM stuff pretty cheap. After you install your new one, you might want to hook up 10,000 volts to it and then park it in the same place it was stolen. : )

LOL! I have seen several posts on other car forums talking about the "S2K Antenna" as being something highly desirable. Must be some kind of hero worship.... *shrug*

Sorry to hear that. Just the kind of crap that delayed me getting a sweet car like the S.
If it's any consulation you can get XM and you won't need your old antenna.

I went to an import car show (Not HIN, but similar) in Houston. There were about 6 or 7 s2000 owners who knew each other at different parts of the parking lot. We all met up later, and I think all but one had theirs stolen. My g/f's sister had loctite on hers, and they STILL got it.

I never put mine back on, cause the radio sucks everywhere I go so I don't listen to it.

Also, not only Jetta's (I would assume that means most VW's as well), but they fit on Celica's and I presume a lot of other Honda/Acura's.

I'm always tempted to steal one back from another make, even if they bought it on EBay and didn't steal it. I'm sure 90% of them are originally from stolen sources...
