There isn't a cool story or anything about this, I just left my car in front of a friends house, went to the movie theather on his car with a bunch of friends, and came back to find this.

The pictures I guess speak for themselves. Anyway, if someone knows of any aftermarket parts that might look better than the original, tell me, if price doesn't increase a lot over OEM parts, I might get them.







And how it looked 3 days ago:


I'm taking it tomorrow to the dealer to get an estimate. Anyone have any clue as how much I'm looking at?

I don't think I'll be able to sleep properly today.

Did you report it? PLEASE tell me you haven't cleaned you car since this happened! It looks like you've got some nice prints all over that rear end. Do you live in a big city or small town? Any nearby CCTV cameras? Someone running around with a Mustang grill ought to stand out.

:edit:

Any plans on changing your rims? If not, and if you want to replace them, I can mail you my OE center-caps (assuming I can find them). Let me know.

Reporting it will do nothing at all, except waste my time. I live in Mexico, and this is the kind of thing that the cops do nothing about.

I don't plan on changing the rims, so I might take you on your offer, depending on the cost that Ford quotes me. I'll send you a message tomorrow, to check if we can work something out, thanks!

Crap, that blows!

I'll wait to hear from you. If it only costs me a couple of bucks to mail them, you can have them gratis.

Small, I know, but it's all I got!


:nono: (Filters) :nono:

Oops! What did I write? Sorry!

Wow... what in heck are they going to do with your sideview mirrors?? This had to stealing just for the sake of stealing. What idiots.

Too bad that's the attitude down in Mexico (though I'm not surprised). If I were you, I'd obtain a firearm. Since the cops don't protect you, you have to look out for yourself. At least, that's how I would see things.

Sorry to hear about this.
Had almost the same, happen to me back in the 70s!
I had a 69 fastback then, stoled outside mirror, side roof badges, flip gas cap,
keyed car and broke the antenna! I know how you feel. Some people, just can't
handle, what others work hard for and get! What they can't get, they either steal or destroy! Sad cases!
Hope you get it fixup fine!

That's awful!

I just don't understand this kind of thing. Someone took your rear badge and your grille/fogs... but they didn't take the GT side emblems. What the heck is with the side views?!

Hope it works out painlessly and quickly!

I don't know about Mexico but in the U.S. the insurance co. will not pay without a police report #. :bang:
