It does happen...stolen fender tag alert!!!

[Beep Beep Dave]

Incredibly someone stole the fender tag from a 1971 Challenger convertible at this years Moparfest in New Hamburg.
Talk about a low thing to do...I can't see how anyone could decide that they needed it more than the owner.
Anyway the owner would obviously like it returned...no questions asked.
I have the contact info up on my site:

Oh, now that even makes it worse!!
I hope she gets it back.

[Mean 318]

I take mine off, you can never be too safe! I hope he gets it back, or gets another one made!

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Unbelieveable! 

Don't people realise with all these registries etc, it would be hard to "pass off" a clone especially with someone elses tag!

Another reason to support the registries!   Lets find the bastard!

[Beep Beep Dave]

I have no idea what purpose having someone elses fender tag would be??? And how someone could take on off at a show is beyond me.
Hopefully it gets returned!!!

What a load of crap! 
I see people with their buildsheet out in the open @ shows and have to shake my head.  There's just too many "jealous" dickheads out there.

I've thought about getting another tag made since mine is my only means of a birth certificate, put the original one in a safe.  My buildsheet is just too illiterate and I make it a point not to sit by my car constantly if I take it to a show. 

[Chad L. Magee]

472 R/T SE is right.  That is exactly the reason you should keep a fender tag rubbing of your own cars handy just incase something like this does happen (so you will have a means to get a correct repop fender tag made, even if you don't have it in the registry yet).  Still, the best thing to do at shows is to only show copies of what you have stored safely away (as in a fireproof safe for buildsheets, orginal fender tags, orginal owners manuals, etc.).......

[41husk]

my 70 challenger convertible has been missoing the fender tag since before I bought it in 1982.

Maybe use some of those security screws like they use on the gas caps? Or use bolts and put lock nuts on the bottom.

[kamkuda]

The mopar community is pretty close knit in Canada and I am sure, around the globe.  I will keep my eyes/ears open.

Thats a reall crappy thing to do

[PocketThunder]

Or use pop rivets.   

[Arigmaster]

I just keep my hood closed at shows. If someone really wants to look under the hood of the car, I am there at the time.....

Then if someone trys to open the hood without permission...Well....

  Someone stole my fender tag years ago when my car was in Vegas. They went right in the driveway and helped themselves. I hate crooks. I feel sorry for the one I do catch someday. He has no idea what an ASS WHOOPIN' he's in for!!!!!

[Scatpack]

Maybe its a good idea to keep the tag with the car title and rivet a repoped one in.Food for thought,I think i will do that.A thief will get it off riveted or not if he wants too

[sunroofsuperbird]

People must collect these things or something? i don't see what good they would do anyone if they don't have the car. I own a mopar junkyard and most all my cars fender tags go missing? some vin tags also at times and it makes me so mad. Ive got were I take them off any Hipo cars I get in just so they wont get stole. but people even take the 6cyl dart ones? someone stole the one off my 69 fury 4dr 318 car at a repair shop. and my 69 4x4 charger R/T someone stole it at carisle a few years ago. It is registered at the dodge charger registry and Wayne took all my tag info years ago. I guess I need to contact him and see if I can get that info to have a repo made for it one day.

[sixpack70]

Someone must have liked my fender tag as its been gone way before I bought the car. I guess I should get what I can from my build sheet and make two, so if one gets snagged I have a back up.

Yo,
   About ten years ago at a local car show, someone went into the glove box of my 73' SE Charger and took the title & registration! I mean come on from a 73' SE Charger. What good would it have done them? This was 10 years ago at that. The SE's were not and still are not that sought after or rare of a mopar.
    I was f-ing pissed cause I had the original title and I had to go and get a duplicate made.
Then a few years later I stopped in a store to get some papers and someone took my garage door remote from the visor! What a bunch of fags !
  Mind you, I live in a suburb. These crooks should have there f-ing fingers cut off, like in Turkey when ya' steal !

I wish we could catch the scumbags doing that,we could turn the fender tags they stole into toe tags

[RIDELIKEHELL]

put his head under the hood & close it! OOPS..that would mess up any detailing

What an ARSE

[MichaelRW]

That does it. I'm going to remove my tag and put it with my build sheet. I think I'll take photos of the build sheet and fender tag and display those with the car at the car shows.

I have thought about making a duplicate of my tag for the car and keep the original in a safe place.  I think there is a company out there that makes new tags. 

Some one already made off with my rear R/T emblem from my office at work.

I recall that thread.  The one where some folks were telling you to set up cameras to catch the thieves.

You carried your title in the car? That's a first for me. Did you have it signed as well?

Don't you normally carry the title in the car Chris?

In ON, if the police pull you over they ask for three things before asking any questions:

Driver's Licence
Ownership (title)
Insurance Card

Do you just carry a photocopy?

Not in Jersey. We have license, registration and Insurance Card. If I handed my title to you, you could simply sign my name and technically own my car.

I had no idea that's how it works in Ontario. I know when I bought my Charger from Winnipeg, it only had a bill of sale. Are you telling me you have to carry that in your car?

  Are you trying to be a dick? Don't be a dick, no one likes a dick. So that makes it OK that someone stole from me? I was just trying to let a fellow Moper owner understand that I felt the same frustartion as he.

Yo, yeah he is tryin' to be a dick - did the    give it away?     He will continue to be a dick, but that's why we like him so much, 'cause he tells it like it is!     In reality, he's not a dick, he just says a lot of stuff that others don't have the balls to say.  I don't think he ever said it was OK that someone stole from you.  He simply asked a legit question, made a legit comment and then asked a wise ass question.  Stick around, you'll see that's the norm around here - no harm intended.   

And by the way, there are a lot of chicks out there that like dicks!   

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Blah Blah Blah,
    Sorry for being such a sensitive pussy. I am the dumb ass that left the title in the center console. A hard lesson learned, I might as well left the keys in the ignition!

Geez, what's with this place lately? I just want Troy or whoever cares to know, that I have been called a "dick" and a "horses ass" in this last week. Both times I have not responded with any negativity. I want my bad attitude record cleared of any charges. As a matter of fact, can you please change my screen name to Mr. Wonderful? That best suits me at this point.   

BMXOTO, The reason I asked why you had your title in your car, is because around here we are not required to carry the title in the car. Do you have to carry a title in your car? It's a simple question.

Hey dick head (I dont think anyone called you that yet.... ) In NY we dont have titles for cars pre- '75 I believe.  Our registrstions are transferrable.

PS---I still think you are a horses ass but I still love ya

PSS--everyone here needs to take a chill pill lately.....I think old man winter is upon us early this season >

[Drache]

Here in Canada we have to carry the title of the car in the vehicle. It's not as easy to just sign a name onto it and own the vehicle though since the transfer papers need alot of personal info, at least they do in BC. You have to fill out addresses, drivers license numbers, etc.

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Yo Mr.Wonderful,
    Sorry mate, I was a dumb as by leaving the title in the car. The reason it was in my console was due to the fact that I had went to the DMV before the car show to register for historical plates. I did not say that you are a dick, just not to be one.
     You are a senior member and I am a newbie to the site. Thanks for not kicking my ass!

It sounds like Canada's version of a title is different than in the U.S.
Here, it's pretty much the last word for legitimately owning a car & is always stashed in a safe place at home until you're ready to sell the car. The odd thing is (at least in Utah) that the DMV only requires an owner's signature for title transfer...if it's signed, it's as good as sold. Until about 10 years ago, the current owner had to have a notary stamp on the title before transfer was legal, now they don't care for some reason.

This past summer in Carlisle, PA @ the Chrysler gathering, I heard rumors that vin tags and fender tags were being stolen from some cars, however I think it was just rumors cause nothing officially was said at the end ceremony/annoucements, and I would think something like that would be announced..................................you would think!!  

[Charger1973]

I see no reason to put my fender tag on my car at all.  I removed it when I got the car and put it in a safe place.  There is really no reason for me to have it on the car.  I can understand if some people want it on for shows, etc...  but the way things are these days its not even worth the risk.  I think as long as you have copies/photos/rubbings of them with you that should be just as good.  Id much rather have my fender tag than a car show trophy... Its just one less thing for someone to steal.  I wouldnt even have the VIN tag on my dash if it was legal to take it off.
