Default Bastards stole my antenna

My car was parked in a garage in downtown Orlando on Wed. night, when I came out I noticed someone had ripped off my antenna mast! It could have been worst, no scratches. What will this cost to replace? Any place but the dealer to get this item?

ripped off? or screwed off? because if they ripped it off the threading for the socket would be ruined, but a replacement antenna is only what 8-9$?

i wouldn't do that - if they want your antenna - let em have it - and spend the 14 bucks to get a new one - it's a lot better than if they try to force it off.
