Default IS200 Emblem was stolen too...

Some j@ck@*** ripped it off our IS200 emblem a long time ago in Hong Kong. If we were to check the security cameras (was in a parking garage), we would have to file a police report (or so they said). These people are just dumb...

Teens would use it as a keychain or something they would post in a notebook. At least that's what it was like back in the day with Honda and Acura emblems.

Thanks
I'd say go on ebay and find someone selling a whole set for any lexus that has the number 3 in it (ie 330, 350, 430, etc). I'd bet they're all the same format (assuming that the model had separate numbers)

Anyone got any suggestions on how to keep the emblem put after I get the new one. Any way to thread the pegs of the emblem and wrench them down?
Sorry to hear about it.
Reminds me of the 60's when the Mustang Emblems were stolen. They made great belty buckles. Hard to envision the Lexus emblem as a belt buckle.

Didn't your back up camera record the guy on the Lexus security system?

Same reason guys used to do panty raids. It's just a trophy. They didn't wear the confiscated panties, and they aren't going to use the stolen 'L' emblem. As we grew up we preferred the panties ON the girls, just as the guys who steal the emblems will eventually prefer the car the emblem is attached to. Personally, I prefer the panty caper.

Now hold on, if this took place in the Bay Area they may very well have worn the panty hose.

For the poster who is missing the 3, I'd find a 2 to put on and
really surprise some people.
