Default Blue S4 with stolen headlights, Cambridge, Boston:

I saw you parked in Brookline St this morning as I drove past to work. You here? What happened?

Default I'm regretting having an A4 that looks S4ish now

I've been so reluctant to even drive into Boston these days.

Default I'm seriously considering leaving my S4 back home in upstate NY while I live here. It's just not

worth the hassle. Anyway, sorry to hear bout that, whoever you are. Time for some e-codes and spp stage III

Default There's usually at least two parked at Brookline Audi. All of IRA's RS6 and A8L's got ripped off...

Where's that Globe article from a few months back...

Default I think that would be an extreme measure:

in my experience, Boston is quite a safe place to drive and park (this is not to belittle the people who've had problems here). But you do raise your risk level by using street parking and/or going to certain areas. Where this happened in Cambridge is a strange mixture of crappy apartments and biotech high-rise.

Interesting that Nissan is actually doing something about it while Audi does nothing

The part I can't figure out is that they always break the mounting brackets on the headlights...
