So how common is antenna theft? #234478 Jul 27, 6:38pm Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 82 Northern Virginia jeiger Member 2001 Toyota Celica jeiger Member 2001 Toyota Celica Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 82 Northern Virginia I just put an s2k antenna on. The fact that it took less than 5 seconds to put on was convinient, but I guess it also makes it convenient to lift. Have you guys had your fancy antennas stolen?

Also, I wouldn't want to put locktight or any type of bonding material on it because then the azz who would want to swipe it might end up scratching the car.

Like said it takes 5sec to take it off and on. "Fate can only take you so far, its up to you to decide what to do when it takes you there."

I like the logic of let them take it if they insist and not have to damage the car. They're cheap enough to replace.
