I'm thinking this. If someone had managed to pry your crest off they would have very likely caused damage to your front trunk lid as well. The crest is held in with a couple of small screws that go through the lid, so unless they're already loose or someone gets into your front trunk to get at the screws, it's not coming off easy. The plastic emblem most likely just came unbonded from the assembly. They're not the cheapest thing to replace, but they're not incredibly expensive, and you can definitely swap the new one in yourself in just a few minutes.

Glad you had a good, safe trip there and back.

As for a TotD meet, that sounds awesome.
