Wierd thing is- I live in a very small, quaint College town (Mount Allison)- lot's of international students- very low crime. We still think nothing of leaving our doors open- kind of like the good old days. It was a "football night"- I think the Mt.-A team had actually won a game (very rare!) and you could hear the celebration going on into the night. Got up the next morning, and the star was gone! Somebody knew how to butcher an old Benz, that's for sure!

Actually, I always thought it was Deadheads, and not Gangsta's that ripped the badges from VW's and MB's. If so, it must be "Neo-Deadheads", because I usually have Grateful Dead tunes plugged into Pearl's "VW Premium" radio- and I would never think of doing such a thing to anybody's ride. But then, I'm pushin' 50!
