Yesterday I went ice-skating, it was 8-9 PM. After that I drove my car home.
Today it was cold outside (32 F) and snow was falling, really crappy weather. So I cleaned my car and when I was cleaning my trunk door I noticed that there is something wron with my Hyundai logo. :angry: Somebody tried to take it out, but they couldn't cause it was cracked. Damn.

:angry:

Everybody Is jealous of Hyundai, The person who tried to steal it was probably a Honda driver.
Sorry about that.

Some fvkkin' yobbos in UA collecting* badges from different cars.

I feel real bad for you Dmitry. It was prolly some kid like me. I used to go around and "gank" badges off of cars all the time. Looking back on it I shouldn't have but I live in a small town.

Someone tried getting it off without heat, and they broke it. Especially if it was kinda cold out they'll break way too easy. Older domestic cars were just held on by a plug and hole in the body panel. Those are the easy ones.

probably they didn't have screw driver or wrench.

Anybody thought about using rivets to hold licence plate?
