Step 1: remove the old adhesive carefully with a hair dryer. There are instructions for this all over the internet.
Step 2: either buy and apply a new logo, or ride around without one -- these days, it's actually somewhat trendy to pull all the "facist corporate branding logos" off your car.
Since you describe your apartment complex as "upper [sic] scale", I assume that you live in a nice building, but in a mediocre neighborhood. So your neighborhood is probably gentrifying, and the poorer teens who have lived there all their lives are pissed off, and nuisance vandalism/petty theft like this is a way to feel like they're punishing you for invading "their" territory.
But that's just a guess.

You can order a replacement from any Ford dealer. It will come with the adhesive tape to install it!
Usually things like that are stolen by kids who's parents have not done a good job in raising them.

Ha i would do that...well no i probably wouldnt cuz its kinda stupid but anyway. I would do it because I love Chevys and thik ford are steaming piles of Sh*t. But that is just stupid Vandalism. Go get a new one from your ford dealer, or take one off a junk car.

Just use some paint safe chemical and remove the glue, putting on another logo might be inviting someone else to take it again.

DON'T GO TO FORD DEALER OR ANY DEALER. They don't cost a few bucks. Their expansive. The cheapest way that I found is to go to a Junkyard and yank one out for 3 buck or hide them >_-. People pull those tag off because they either want to make fun of you or they love to collect it.

There's no reason for this.. It's just some punk kids.
Bastards.
I don't know any other way to get a new one, other than maybe calling the ford company.

For a gag to put on their ghetto car. Go to a Ford dealer, they might have one for a few bucks

I have seen lots of homemade front license plates with the Ford Oval nameplate. Maybe someone took yours to make themselves one.

It can be replaced. from the dealer,or steal it off another Ford. Chances are you stealing it back anyway.
