That said, someone desperate enough or malicious enough could do it just to ruin your day...

To take it off properly reuires some heat, dental floss, and about 15 minutes per side.

The 3M adhesive primer/prep really works well! Its like gasoline or something that cleans and primes the surface. It makes the adhesive like 2x stronger.

I just took the eyelids off of my car. I ended up breaking one of the lids and slightly scratching my headlight. I had full headlight covers so I couldnt get uder it with floss. Had to pry it up enough so I could cut away some of the tape. I wouldnt worry about getting them stolen.
