Default Someone Stole My Antenna!

I know it isnt a lot of money, but I feel a little violated. I just cant stand that kind of crap. Why would people steal something worth like $20 or $30????!!!!?

because they have an Evo that comes with an ugly antenna j/k it happens a lot.

I would recommend removing the antenna when ever parking the car out of view or for an extended period of time

Because, they have no integrity. Because, they reason that it's better that it's $20-30 out of YOUR pocket than their's.

ya its a pretty common thing that antenna's on our cars get stolen and not much you really can do about except to take it off whenever you park somewhere!

I'd rather they steal it easily than mess up the threads that hold it in.

Im glad you guys understand my feelings on this. I cant imagine how the guys who get their tops slashed and seats stolen feel.

This is probably not a good idea as the a*hole that wants your antenna will pull and jerk on the antenna which is threaded onto the base which is attached to the fender........

It's better that the lowlife take the damn antenna which you can replace pretty inexpensively than have him destroy the base or perhaps deform the fender by jerking on the antenna.

I just remove mine when I'm parked at places I think it will get stolen.
