This is becoming a City menace. The thugs will sell you back your own Mirror. Thieves will pluck it out even as you drive through jam or immediately after you park your Vehicle.

Have your mirrors secured by metal clips riveted to the side mirror Housing. Also have the window visors, front and rear car logos, rear wiper clip, and simply any detachable part, be riveted to the car body. Cary a gun and shoot the thugs off our streets!!!

im a victim of this..my mirrors were riveted, so the guys plugged off the whole housing....wht they then do is, they break the original mirror, put in a bandia one from the glass makers and sell the housing...i replaced mine, second hand, at 8k!! and iv vowed that the moment i see anyone of them street guys stealing anyone elses mirror, il punch, knock or SHOOT them if the resources are available!!!!

is it possible to rivet it from the inside as in onto to metalic body of the car...?

those marks are removed very easily they even made me wonder if they have any use.

This is one reason which made me think that i should acquire a gun. they snatched the whole thing when i was making a call inside, i tried to run and shout but they disappeared. It had an identity.
Those who buy the joined ones are the ones who create the market.
