You might be right Snow. I used to have the badges taken regularly from the golf I had, even the glued on ones, In the end I gave up and left them off.
It's odd that in a line of cars mine, which is in the middle was the only one with any damage. Today I noticed that the tow ring cover was missing from the front bumper, not sure when that happened. Unlike the aerial I can't think that was something the little darlings wanted to play with.
I also found a full disposable lighter under it this morning, which was far more concerning. Odd that Max hasn't barked, he usually goes nuts if anyone strange is hanging around at night.
