Damn Star Thieves!!!
I've had my hood ornament stolen twice in the past three months. Does anyone have any ideas as to a deterrent? I've seen the ones that you can remove and take with you, but as forgetful as I seem to be I would just misplace or lose this right away. It's been suggested to me that I should just buy the badge that replaces the star altogether, but driving without that crosshair to look down just doesn’t feel right!

Mount a fake camera with a little blinking light just inside the windshield.

Just buy a new one and move on, they are only like $28.
If it really bothers you Adsitco sells magnetic ones that you can remove when you leave the car in a bad area.

No I don't, I prefer money orders, take your time. It has been sitting in my basement collecting dust since I pulled it off my 420 parts car. It isn't perfect but its very nice. I would use it on my car and I am very picky, but I am not a fan of the SEC look.
