Stolen mirror cover

Afternoon all,

Iwent out to lunch today to find that my passenger side mirror cover was stolen.

Once I get it replaced (About 100$) is there any way to secure it so that it doesn't happen again?

That is just unkewl ....

Makes me wonder though.. why would they steal it? For what car? I hope it's not another MINI owner.. That would just totally SUCK

Maybe you can crazy glue it, but what if you want to change it for another color..

I have a collection of mirror covers, logos and antennas for sale if anyone needs a replacement. I have new stock coming in all the time too, so let me know if you want something specific and I'll keep my eye out for it.

That stinks but you can turn it into a positive - Sounds like a good time to get chequered flag, chrome or union jack mirror covers!

You can have my Black Mirror Caps for free...

Hopefully no one takes the Chrome ones I installed awhile back. I have a pair of Black ones (<300 miles on them, pristine and no scratches).

You can have them for the cost of shipping if you'd like, PM me if interested.

A car alarm with motion detection would help.

Also be sure to protect those "peaches" from hungry "monkeys".

That looks like it "MIGHT" hurt.

Nasty vandals!

Kaelaria obviously you were joking. as i read your post i was like "its her/him! time to steal some peaches!!!" btw, are you a her or a him? the name suggest female but i dont know for sure.

hopefully no one will be inclined to steal my roof after i get it chromed that would just suck... tho, i suppose it would make for a funny pic. I can see it now, standing on a street corner pan handling with a sign that says "need money, chrome mini roof stolen"
