sorry to hear that. Do you live/park your car in the ghetto? I don't think warranty will cover stolen parts. Otherwise my rims are "stolen". hahahaha...

I am sorry to hear that and wow did they just yoink the antenna out of it sockets. I thought the antenna was bolted on from the interior of the car. Can you post some pic on how the missing antenna part looks like. You should go back to your dealer and find out if it is cover or not and how much will it cost if it is not covered.

This is not covered by warranty. How could it be? The loss is due to vandalism. It is not Lexus' fault some crim jacked it. Probably not worth putting it through your insurance company, but it probably won't be cheap getting it replaced. Bummer.

Wow, they're starting to steal these now too?? I don't have one, so I guess I don't have anything to worry about. This is definitely something that will not be covered by the warranty.

did they do any damage to the roof?

Wow. I think there is something special about Vandalism charges to your car with your insurance. You may want to call them and find out, I think with State Farm atleast it doesn't mess with your premium.

haha yeah I once had someone try to steal my license plate holder, they ended up snapping it in half because of the screws...

Go read your purchase invoice. My local dealer, as with most Lexus Dealers in canada, includes a MANDATORY $300 registration program (Protector Plus) for all new Lexus sold. This program is supposed to put a label on every single major body part with a registration number that is associated with your VIN, so that if someone stole it and try to sell it you can trace that part.

If my antenna was stolen, it will be covered under the Protector Plus program.

This program is not a dealer add-on, but a program that I believe is required by Lexus Canada for all its dealers. Dunno if there is somethings similar in the US.

Anyother way to check if you're enrolled in the Proctector Plus program is open your trunk and look at the bottom ledge, you should see a serial part number with the "protector plus" label on it. If you don't, then you're not part of this program and you will need to file a claim with your insurance.

good luck!

Maybe it was not bolted on tight and it fell off. Are there any scratches or
tool marks from it being removed?

WTF...how could someone do that to your IS! I think the person did this to you and your IS is a AH...
