Some A$$h01e STOLE my e46 custom grills from my car

Today while I was at summer school at CSM, College of San Mateo, a community college in the Bay Area, some asshole jacked my front custom chrome e46 grills off of my e36 m3. I was soo pissed off. I could not believe someone had actually stolen my shit. On top of that they also took the ///M badge that I had on the grills. I had got those items when they first came out, and I paid like $82.00 for them. The ****er who stole my grills just brutally yanked them strait off, denting the metal housing on the car. So not only are the grill gone but my car is also dented. I'm pissed.

I'm taking a math class which which last for an additional two weeks longer than all the other regular summer school classes, so the parking lot is prety much empty, except for those few cars owned by people who are taking a math or english class which last those additional two weeks. A desolate parkling lot presents a very good opportunity for some punk to steal shit, as well as the time period which I am away from my car, 2 hours and 15 minutes, from 8:00-10:15 Am.
I am almost certain that it was stolen there, but in the other case it could have been stolen in front of my mother's house in Redwood City the night before. But I remember walking out to the car and seen nothing unusal, but at the same time I was kind of in a hurry.
I finally noticed the grills missing as I at walking out of the Safeway in Burlingame. I was only there for like five minutes so that pretty much cancels them being stolen at Safeway. And before that I was at Home Depot for like 30 minutes but i dont believe that it was stolen there because I was parked right in front and there were pleanty of people comming to and from the store.
Sorry about the long story, I just had to vent. If you guys see any chrome grills or a front ///M badge being sold on ebay for really cheap please let me know. And if you local Bay Area guys hear or see anyone with those grills and the badge let me know. (So far i have not seen anyone else in my area with the same grill as I had on their 92-96 e36.) If i do find that cheap ****er who could not afford his own set of grills and had to steal mine, he is going to get ****ed up as well as his car. Here is an image of what the grills and badge looked like on my car. (* note the car is not mine, but I'm using the picture show what the grills looked liked on my car)

The picture is not of my car, but i used it to display what the chrome grills and ///M badge looked liked on my 95 m3. Sorry for any confusion.

You sure the owner wasn't in an accident?
