Default headlights stolen for 2nd time.

and they absolutely trashed the fenders. i think i could have done a cleaner job with some plastic explosives.

i'm selling the car. i can't deal with having to fix this _ridiculous_ problem every 6 months.

Default In hell, obviously. <:(

But a good alarm and a gun would probably solve that problem, no? I'f I lived in a crime infested area I'd own a gun.

That's sucks! Why target the headlights? Does this happen with other cars besides S4's?

They're expensive, and yes, it happens to other cars with xenon lights.

Default what are claymores? landmines? i had crazy security on my A2 GTi's headlights. those used to be

popular to steal. first i secured the hood by covering the hole in the rad. support through which you could pop the hood easily. (you could still get it open from the bottom if you had it up and really knew what you were doing, oh and by the pop in the car)
i then also had the grill and lights security wired to the rad. support.

this would be much more difficult to do on our cars. but if someone wants your lights, they'll have them.

They all get stolen in Boston, I'd set an ambush if I lived there.
