I went out crusin on sunday,made a couple of stops along the way and when i got back home i noticed the damage. looks like someone took a knife or screwdriver to remove the emblem. But looking at Elamars pics its not too bad.  

Stretch

That sucks man!

I'd love to catch someone messin with my car.

The punk that took it will be easy to spot. He'll be the Jackwagon with his pants fallin off, his hat on sidways and a nice shinny new "Charger" necklace. He'll most likely be the "tough guy" who weighs in at about a buck twenty and has more pimples than the kid running the fry at micky D's.

That really sucks!  Wish I would catch someone doing that to a car!

That really sucks!  I got keyed once for no reason the first week I had mine.  At times these cars can be sitting targets for determined assholes.  I try not to let that worry me too much because there's only so much you can do about it.  But it's bullshit and I don't quite understand the random malice.

Sorry about your Charger...When I last went to the Mopar Nats (when it was at Indy), some jerk tried to steal a real spoiler off a 71-72 Charger. They really damaged the trunk lid and never did get the spoiler off.
You would think Mopar guys would take care of theit own. :brickwall:

So sorry to see that.  Years ago some kids busted out both side windows of my 64 Cutlass (hardtop with a 330 4bbl) just to steal an $80 stereo.  It was a bitch to find the glass.  Hadn't they ever heard of a coat hanger?   :rofl:

1. Get a white marker pen.
2. Draw an arrow on your top to the damage.
3. Write "Stolen emblem. Reward $100. If you see the punk with it, call (cell#) and pin him down until I get there".
4. Drive it for awhile just like that.

Headliner will have to be peeled back at the sail panel to attach the new emblem. You might have to pull the glass to get the old top off as it will be glued to the pinch weld around the front and rear window frames most likely.

That's how I did my '70's emblem, I never touched the headliner.

Troy

That sucks! I used to live in places where thefts and vandalism were much more common and, in every case, the damage caused was worth more than whatever was stolen. No respect for other people's property - and, in the case of cars, labor and love. My guess is they ruined the emblem before they got it off (looks like a screwdriver from the bottom up) and will likely toss it. We used to find "trails" of stolen stuff where thieves would break into a car, grab everything they could, and then discard anything they didn't want (or couldn't sell) as they were walking away.

Oh, and don't expect all "Mopar guys" to respect your stuff either. I took the picture below at the Nats this year...

when all you own is a hammer, every job  resembles a nail.

bill440rt

I am simply baffled by how little respect there is for other people's property in today's society. What value would that little emblem have to a preying thief? See a bright shiny thing, & they not only have to steal it but cause further damage to someone else's property in the process? Disgusting.

A violated feeling for sure. I hope you get your car repaired quickly, and find out whoever did this to you.

I checked the stores that i shopped at that day and they only have cameras at the door, nothing that covers the parking lot.
