WTF? I came into work yesterday like normal and parked my car in our lot. Lunch rolls around and I head out to my car to find that someone had tried to steal my passenger mirror. IN BROAD DAYLIGHT!!! It was just hanging there by it's wire. We even have security gaurds that walk the lot to prevent this sort of thing from happening. Luckily it is easy to pop these things back in, but what can I do to prevent them from coming back and stealing it again? Maybe use some rubber cement or something to hold it on? F#@%^$%^%$!!! I am pissed that this could happen at work. Now I am going to be all nervous leaving my car parked there when I end up working late. Ok, sorry. I had to vent somewhere.

Just part of the game man. You could put some electric shock on it

IAm going to fix a piece of aircraft cable to the base and mirror on each side one of these days...need to do that.
I think I am liking that electric shock idea. Or maybe the flame thrower under the car trick too. One switch on each mirror so if they are popped off, BOOM! A big ass flame hits the thieves. Yeah, that's it.

Ahhh, donuts. Good idea. Although, I think they would appreciate a six pack even better. I know I would.

Are there any cameras that might of caught the person in action?
The last place I worked had building cameras that caught a lot of the lot?
Good Luck!!
Well, it was just hanging there so I am assuming that maybe the security gaurd was coming so they didn't get enough time to pull it all the way off, cut the wire. Either way, I am glad they didn't get it. Hopefully they won't be back to try again.

I figured a way to make the mirrors removable, I'm going to take pics and try to explain the process.
