rash of w124 turn signal lens thefts

Well to me at least, two in the past 6 weeks in very public places. My passenger side lens was lifted at the airport main parking garage under security cam... except the cams were out of service, dang.

My drivers side was lifted today from a public parking lot, in broad daylight and well traveled. backed into the spot leaving my front end exposed and visible to the rest of the lot for 1 hour, and whammo, drivers side lens swiped. 4pm

WTF!!! Is there a worldwide shortage of MB W124/201 Turn signal lenses?

Has this happened to anyone else?

So I try to figure out how they are getting swiped and with a little trial and error, I can now get these things out in a breeze, it's almost too easy. Not willing to loose any more lenses to greedy hands, I'm interested in securing these as close to but not quite gluing them in place

Any ideas on how to better secure these things?
TIA
