Fella's my car's been Violated.

Last night at about 3 am some stinking theif tried to steal my new spoiler. I just had it replaced because of the peeling clear coat. They installed the new evo IX spoiler ,with new paint. I heard a bang outside the house in the garage area , then i hear a car accelerate away, when i go out side i didn't see much of anything. Low and behold when morning comes around i go to re-inspect the car and i find that the f***ers tried to pull the spoiler off the trunk. While pulling the spoiler cracked on the bottom side, and they also pulled so hard it bent the side of my trunk. I cant' beleive it. I never though this would happen to me. I never take my car out to clubs, or leave it in places where i can't see it, and wham!! i get hit in my own damn house. It's truly unbelievable what some people are capable of doing. these guys had to have been real geniuses to try and pull a spoiler off that bolted to a car's trunk. I mean when the mitsu techs went to replace my old spoiler they had a hard enough time pulling it off with the bolts taken off, imagine with the bolts tightened down. I posted some pics of the damage so you guys can see. And fella's beware, theives are everywhere, and they'll hit you even in your own home. It's truly dispicable...

Someone probably bench pressed your spoiler. Might have just been some vandals, not someone trying to steal it.

Sorry to hear about your spoiler. I hate vandals. My girl's car got hit by vandals (spray painted one side of the car) just last month and I spent $110 to get it fixed

Here in pueto rico most " garages" are outside. The car is on my land, but it's outside. There is a small steel gate in front of it, but other than that it's in open air.

I will be filing a claim with the insurance company tomorrow. I've been giving serious thought to going wingless. If i do i will more than liekly get an RS trunk or just get the trunk fixed so it has no holes, and get repainted. It would really suck to get a new spoiler and have it get jacked up again. and besides i think wingless looks pretty kool. It's another step toward being a little more unique. Here's a pic of what looked like when they were changing the original wing. What do you guys think?

Is it me or does anyone see this "trend" happening too often lately. It seems as if every day there is a new thread like this, It's getting out of hand. What the hell is it that is going through people's heads that they have to destroy other's property? I'm paranoid to hell now that when I get mine it's going to be in the garage all the time. This is just rediculous.
