Stolen Hood Ornament - Round 2

The irony is that I just posted the story about my hood ornament being stolen from my Jaguar XJ8 in 2010 a couple of days ago, and then on Friday night it happened again. I came out on Saturday morning and there it was missing. Needless to say, frustration ensued.

It's one of those things that I don't have a solution for without replacing the ornament with a simple badge instead. Once again, it seems those who want to maintain nice things suffer from those who couldn't care less. It's made no difference that this year, especially these last few months, have been especially taxing and draining despite my best efforts to make things right. Having my car vandalized just feels like salt in the wound at this point. I'm kind of at a loss.

I said in my previous post this is one of the quirks in owning a Jaguar. I'm also feeling like this is an example of life kicking you when your down.

  1. If only there were a way to electrify your hood ornament so it shocked everyone who touched it. That would be awesome AND entertaining. Of course they might wreck it out of spite after that. But still, retribution.

  2. That idea would be awesome, it's no so far fetched either. I read about people wanting to do that but backed off because of the fear that they could be sued by the thief. Go figure.

  3. Ugh, sorry your car was vandalized (again). Some people really have no respect and don't care about who they hurt in the process of their harmful behavior.

  5. That really sucks! I'm sorry to hear that happened. Were you able to get a replacement leaper okay?

    1. Yes, I finally did replace it but came up with a way of taking it on and off. I now have a cap that I put in place of the leaper when parking my car.
