 Is it for a Bat-Phone? I saw a car in the parking lot that had a huge dent on the roof and you could see some had tried to steal it by prying on it. It was still hanging on by a bolt or something. What are they and why is it worth stealing?  :shruggy:

It's just an antenna.  They done them that way for a cleaner look and they're less likely to get broke.

Plain old antenna, not worth stealing but some humanoids beg to differ apparently.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Deadbeats have always enjoyed breaking off car antennas, why is that?

Same reason they bash mailboxes;  they can destroy peoples' property and get away with it.  Unless someone is smart enough to catch them in the act.

The GM trucks look stupid with these antennas off of center. Dodge put them in the middle.
