I went to tractor supply yesterday and while I was inside some jerk stole my ford emblem off the back of my truck. Crazy thing is the a** hole put a different ford emblem in its place. The original emblem is blue... incorrect one is all silver. Now I get to buy a new one on Monday. .

Bought the truck new in 2012. It definitely hasn't lost any color at this point. Never heard of a thief replacing something they stole. They obviously liked the stock emblem better than their after market emblem.
 
the emblem on my 06 ford p/u discolored after about four years. they all do eventually. so sayeth the parts guy at the ford dealership.
 
Silver lining?
Doesn't look like they scratched your paint doing so.
At least you don't have to pay for a repaint!
 
Oh I've heard of thieves replacing stuff they stole. I was a commuter student at Michigan State University back in the late 70's early 80's. At that time being a commuter student was worse than having a incurable social disease, we had to park so far away from campus it was a 20 minute bus ride in. Our farm was about 19 miles from campus, the drive from campus to the parking lot was 1/3 of my commute time. The commuter lot didn't see much supervision from our so-called campus police (their forte was parking tickets). Also remember most cars didn't have locking hoods, you pulled the thing out on the grill and the hood opened. Ran into a few people who had batteries stolen, twice. Guy would rip off your good battery and put a marginal one back in, this way you might not know you've been ripped off right away, the thief watches you car, maybe even checks it out a few times. When you get a new battery they steal it and put the first one they stole back,that way they get a nice new battery.
 
I know you guys might think im crazy but this isn't the same emblem. The name ford is raised on this emblem. It was not raised on the original one. It wasn't a sticker before either. It was a solid plastic piece just like my king ranch emblems. This solid silver emblem is an after market piece. My uncle has an f 150 in Florida and bought two of these emblems to change out the front and back original emblems on his truck. I thought it was double sided tape used to hold them on so im not sure how they were swapped.
 
I agree on that! Two years ago some a**
hole keyed the passenger side of the truck
causing $3,000 damage. That was obviously
a bigger deal than this. There's a great
body shop close to me that fixed it but
the fact it happened is a bummer.
 

I still say the outer part popped off... I just dont see a thief putting back the old emblem, and the plastic legs usually break off when you try to pop them off anyway. Just try to get all the trim off a car for a paint job. You break 50% of it. I believe the blue cover and clear top popped off. may water got in there, and froze and expanded it and it popped it off or loosen it. Or maybe the tail gate was down a lot and it vibrated it loose. And OJ was guilty, the CIA/mafia killed JFK, and external_link is an extraterrestrial. But what do I know. I gotta go now, there's black helicopters flying around.
