Default MY LOUVERS WERE STOLEN OFF OF MY CAR??? WTF! Anybody else experience this?

Hi Everyone,
Anyone ever have anything stolen from off of their car? Or out from inside your car? It's happened to be before. Here's what happened...

I have a Satin Silver 2006 GT and purchased it used back in 2010. It came with Shelby Style Quarter window lovers. The pictures attached I took the first sunny weekend I got her. I only had the car for about 8 months when my quater window louvers were stolen. They were either taken when I was at a local pub with my friends on a Monday night or that night as I was sleeping.

My car before they were taken:

My car after they were taken: (Since then I've added a Decklid Panel. The one in this picture is the magnetic one from American Muscle but I just recently installed an MMD Black Louver Decklid Panel)

I didn't notice they were gone until the next morning when I woke up. I'm pretty sure they were taken when I went to the pub because the parking lot was packed that night, it's not very well lit, and that place attracts a more younger, badder crowd. I'm sure some effin low-lifes make a living stealing stuff off of people's cars. I only went because the drinks are cheap and my friends wanted to go. I know this happened a few years ago but it still burns me up until this very day. Those things aren't cheap!

Anyways, I was just curious if this has happened to anyone else. Has anything ever gotten stolen off of your car? If so what? Feel free to upload pics if you got em.

Never happened to me. I've wondered sometimes if I'd come back out and my stubby antenna or rear window louvers on my blue GT would be gone. Or my magnetic decklid panel.

I dunno, to me, I never touch someone's car. Hell, I asked for permission to take a picture of a guy's car the other day. It's like someone's gun in their house. You just don't do it without their permission.

I just hope other people do the same with my car. I don't care if it's a Purple '92 Civic DX or a new 5.0. Not my car. Not my place. Show me the same respect.

I can't agree with you more JFitz. I respect other people's cars especially the ones that look like the owner is taking well car of them. People are bastards sometimes. I just hope Karma comes back around and bites them in the *** 10 fold.
