A similar thing happens when you try to steal the badge of my Ford. I come running out of the house with a bat

Can't steal the spirit of ecstasy?
*just steal the whole car instead*

[fryinglydone]

Very similar thing happends when you try to take off badge emblem off my Zastava Yugo.
The whole car falls into multiple pieces and the logo you're trying to steal literally vaporases its self, and then the frontal bumper ejects itself towards your face

Rolls Royce: you can't steal the spirit, it hides when you touch it
Thief: breaks it off with a baseball bat

That means i can still steal that from car built before 2004.

So basically:
"Yes, but its more difficult than for a Mercedes"

[submeitsfreebruh]

Usually the opposite happened with my vehicle's badge. It fell off by itself and someone picked it up and put it back in the place where it was. When i came home and looked it was fallen again. 😢😢

It'll be funny when the Spirit of ecstasy goes down and then the middle finger comes up instead xD

*Why does it feel like this guy is flexing so hard on us even though he ain't flexing in the slightest...*

Rolls-Royce engineers: *(makes a spring-loaded mechanism just to show off their engineering prowess)*
14-year-old Kids participating in RoboCon tournaments: *“Heh...Amateurs! 😏😎”*

i love how they all gently touch the sculpture instead of packing it tightly or bashing it with a bat :D

The car is like “get your hands off me, peasant"

Sales Director: People ask me whether the Spirit of Ecstacy gets stolen.
Spirit of Ecstacy: My name is Giovani Giorgio...

[_foot_burmese_pythn]

Thief: can't steal Spirit of ecstasy
Thief: steals entire car instead

[timtam]

Lesson... grab it with a clamp, let the car pull it off for you.

[brandonlee]

Robber: “darn i cant steal the emblem”

Robber: steals entire car

[eman]

“Well, I’ll let you decide” yes it does, as long as the thief doesn’t just tap it and walk away. People doing these demos always have the grip strength of a dead person😂.

[raccoonofmotivation]

In some states, a thief can hurt themselves trying, sue you, and then purchase their own rolls royce.

All this video does is make me think "Challenge Accepted".

I'd hardly call that an attempt to steal the hood ornament. Dude pulled and released like it was a lever.
