Sorry to hear this.

Got to ask, how was it attached? Do you know for certain it was stolen or could it have flown off on the highway? Adhesives sometimes do weaken.

You broke their windows? That's taking it a little to far there.

I'll tell you what.. there isn't anything worse than having things stolen from you whether it has to do with your car or home stuff, especially when you have worked so hard for them, been there many times.

Yeah I don't see how you consider that excessive? Teach those A-hats a lesson. What would you have done? Call the cops and have them deal with the perps?

Thanks everyone for your concern. My spoiler has been recovered!

First off, I want to thank Aadaamm for contacting me and returning the roof spoiler to me. A very stand up guy!!! Some would keep it and not return it. I feel extremely bad as he is out $180 of his own $. I owe him! The spoiler was posted on Craigslist, Adam contacted him via email, met him at the Great Mall and made the purchased.

As for the spoiler, it has a small crack on the passenger side, there was scrape marks when they tried to pry it off. The thieves even went as far as re-3Ming with new double side tape.

For the person who stole it, i'll be looking out for you!
