Yeah that sucks man. The antenna is so easy to steal. I never park at malls, and if I do I always park away from everyone and outside...in the hopes that someone would possibly see my car getting vandalized or stolen.

Good luck though.

Didn't really notice that the antenna was a screw-off

I was parked on the rooftop with plenty of cameras, the culprit was filmed walking away from my car to his car just a few rows down. I will have the persons info by tomorrow and I will be pressing charges.

Seriously, how dumb have these criminals gotten these days?

ya, the atenna iz eazy to remove or steal.

Word of advise....just because the theft/theives were on vidio usually won't help in most area's

hope the best....
a new atenna...no prob...but scraping your paint...not cool at all

I noticed with this car you either get people that love the car and talk to you about it for 15 minutes or you have the haters (thieves that scratched it up)

Next step is too get some wheel locks for the car, I didn't think the S2000 was that much of a target for low-life thieves

sorry to hear about the bad experience. Once you get a new antenna you can get a little bit of jb weld and put it on the screw sticking up from the car and then screw the antenna back on and then it wont be coming off at all, or at least it would be hard enough that a theif wouldnt bother anymore with taking it. As for the scratching your car, just hope and pay somone isnt a dick like that i guess.
