So someone tried to steal my rear emblem...

Thanks for the comments everyone. Yea it sucks that it happened but it could have ended up a lot worse than a ruined badge. Haters gonna hate I guess. It just sucks that you can't have nice things without some lowlife messing with it out of envy. Luckily they didn't key it or something. The looks are actually growing on me with the center blacked out - I might go ahead and do the same to the front emblem so they match.

I was in NW close to American University. Car was parked close to where River Rd and Wisconsin Ave intersect -- across from where the Guapo's and Whole Foods are. I figured it was a nicer part of D.C. so the car should be ok. I was wrong.

That is very bizarre. I live near there and I park my car around there all the time without even thinking about it. There are usually WAY nicer cars than my Z parked around there. I will say I do see some shady characters right by the Metro stop and in front of the CVS.

That's the one bad thing about the Metro. It makes it easy for shady people to come to a neighborhood. One night I saw some kids (who obviously weren't from the neighborhood) stealing bikes right by the entrance to the Cleveland Park Metro. But a block away where I live, there are people who leave their kids toys out on the sidewalk in front of their house and nobody ever touches them.

Yea that's why I didn't think twice about parking in that area. It's quite normal to see higher end BMW's and Porsches there. It is really nice but like you said - the metro stops make it easily accessible for shady characters.

I don't want to resort taking the metro into the city again - public transport angers me. Maybe I'll just switch it up and drive my Civic Si into the city but then again that might get stolen if I leave it unattended for more than 5 mins.
