I went ballistic when some scrote nicked the chromed dust caps off my A8, I can't imagine my reaction if I came back and found it on bricks!
After looking at these two examples I was thinking if I had the money to buy a car like that I'd be putting up a substantial reward to find the thieves, or at least paying somene to track them down and punish them but I suppose if you buy a car like that and don't invest in some serious security for it you're hardly going to lose sleep over the repair bill for this type of theft.
I had a Golf GTi when the Beastie Boys were all the rage. I drove round for ages without badges rather than have someone damage the paintwork removing them with a screwdriver, prevention being better than cure
