icon8.gif  ACT Drivers: Missing your badge ? Thu, 14 April 2005 22:57 Go to next message
Just wanted to find out if anyone in Canberra has had a similar experience - at the end of last year some kind hearted soul decided s/he like the emblem on the back of my Celica better than I did and relieved me of the burden of having to drive around everywhere with it stuck to the back of my car which was really hindering performance. After short stroll around the carpark it was obvious that this person really likes Toyotas and removed no less than 4 other badges. Since then I've noticed a few other Toyotas around town looking very naked without their shiny badge on the boot. At least now the boot lid has two nice holes in it which will provide ample ventilation in case you are carrying friends or family on long journeys in the boot.

So if anyone offers to sell you a Toyota emblem at the pub on a Friday night, give them a smack in the chops from me.

Yep, someone has knocked off the badge on my grill (Toyota Bullhorn) which I had fitted myself (my car pre-dating the emblem). I puchased another one and fitted it to fill the void and this new one will not come off without a fight Evil or Very Mad

My parents Camry was debadged not long ago and so was my sisters corolla. Not sure if it's a specific toyota thing or just and general badge thing. My parents car also scored some scratched paint where they had used a screwdriver or something to lever up the badge, how nice of the little c$%ts!

People have no respect, and everyone wonders why I don't drive my car to work Rolling Eyes

My dads Daihatsu is missing the AUSE, still had the APPL for a while. Big scratches there.

Maybe they are after anything related to Toyotas.

on another note the front badge on my sisters boyfirend BA falcon company car was falling off so we pulled it off. Probably just little kids being annoying pricks. When we went to Yamba far NSW north coast they stole are chrome valve casp off the camry. My dad went to repco to get a new set and the guy said that all the local kids were stealing them and collecting them. Some had tool boxes full of valve caps i mean wtf are they gonna use em for.

need to get a rolls the badge receeds into the car when parked or some have a touch sensor so if someone tried to grab it in receeds into the bonnet and if their figures get in the way get cut off in the process.

I must say that I haven't lost a badge off any of my three Toyotas in Canberra Very Happy

I did however have some loser destroy both door locks on my Corolla breaking into it in the middle of the day to rifle through my glovebox and steal my $10 sunglasses Mad

Also lost some metal valve caps - can't really understand why anyone would want to collect them!
