**** order when something gets stolen, I had 2 centre caps pinched of my car and wheels damaged when removing them, I was needless to say pi55ed off but it turns out it was two kids that took them, ive been hearing more and more of kids pinching car parts for bedroom shrines 
I didn't feel so pissed when I found out as you can kind of understand but when some to55er nicks something to save him buying it

I had the front end of my classic stolen 3 times back in 2004, come to the point it was costing me £500 a time to replace, and I had enough and go rid, Never had any other problems with any other cars sat on my drive, but for some reason Subaru's attract people from 2 ends of the scale, you got the owners who can afford to pay £10k+ and then you got the other owners who can just about afford the insurance/tax/running costs and a car that costs £1000 at most, who would be happy to steal parts from the more expensive Impreza's.
Dont want to stir it up, but its got to be a WRX owner with STi fog light cover envy!!

It's far from just subarus getting stolen and bits from cars been taken, loads of cars go everyday to be stripped and sold in bits

That was my other thought but stuck between a rock and a hard place ?
Stick them on, do the thieves give up or wreck the car getting them off, or leave them 'unstuck' and you can literally pop them off in seconds ?

Mine got taken around this time last year, I know they are only fog covers but it really annoyed me and even now, I still look out the window before bed to make sure someone is hanging around the car!
When I got some new ones, they were very difficult to fit because the clips were solid and quite long, so getting them off must be even harder. I also used car bond so no one will get them off in one piece. Not that it helps me if they snap them, but least i'll have a slight victory in knowing they wont either.
I did think, if they go again, I might just go for the fog light look...least they cannot be taken!
