anyone lost their little "leaper"?
Hey all,
I just have a general question. Some of the X-types have a little "leaper" on the hood. Back in the days, people used to snap it off for whatever reasons. (sell it, just for fun, or they are just being a$$ holes...) So my question is, has anyone lost their "leaper" yet or ever lost their little cat? And how should I prevent mine from being damaged or stolen?
Thanks to all, hope people won't damage our little cats anymore.

Mine was stolen, there are way to make the leaper removable, so you can take it off and walk away with no worries. I persdonal like the idea of running a electric current through it. And shocking the son of a b****. It definnitly sucks, they cost from 135- to 450 to replace. Theres even golden ones that are upwards of 1200. You will find a lto of stolen ones fro cheap, the later model jags ahev a spring loaded one.

Hope no one takes ours because I will have to replace it!

As an alternative to having it stolen, you can get a magnetic leaper (and leaper base) so you can take the leaper with you to avoid it getting stolen. Huge downfall to this is that it is pretty darn pricey... cheapest I have seen it was qround $350 depending on the Euro exchange rate, because so far I've only found them coming out of Europe.

It depends on where you live if its a problem or not. I had mine parked at my high school and college and everywhere I went out and have not had a problem. *knock on wood*
If it's less than $300 to replace I would not think twice about it. 300+ then i would think about just replacing it with a badge. But I can't imagine driving an older jag w/o a leaper. I'm still sad the new ones don't even have it.
