sorry to hear... sucks... you know.... if ANYONE were to steal something from a lexus PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE steal it from a lexus that ISN't taken care of especially when your talking about emblems... just cuz you stole a lexus emblem from a "hot/hooked up" lexus doesn't mean that emblem's getting any hotter....

Man, kids have been doing that for years. The emblem on my old E36 BMW was stolen, people take all types of emblems now days. My friend just mentioned last night someone stole the hood ornament off his car. Broke it right off the base. That is life I guess.

If you want an RX300 "L" I have one laying around. Not sure if it will be the same size though. No I DIDN'T steal it.

I've never heard of anyone stealing Lexus badges before. It's pretty common with Hondas and Acuras though.
