Default Parts going missing off my car

a bit of a strange one really but today when washing my car i noticed that the rubber trim that runs along the inner lip of the drivers side rear arch is missing

I can't see how it would have fallen off but at the same time i can't see why someone would take it.

anyone else had this part just fall off??

guess it'll be a trip down to subaru at some point to order a new one....anyone got an idea of cost?? or anyone recommend web option for purchasing one??

Like you said, it's on too tight to fall off but why would someone nick it ??

Its a very strange thing to go missing...

I think they are prone to coming off - a couple of times when I have cleaned the car they appear to have come away slightly - just keep puching them back on.

Could be worse, when I had the STi the whol front wheel arch lone ripped out on the motorway

Incidentally, I keep losing the grommit that fits over the base of the winscreen wiper - anyone got a spare
