   Try using a hair dryer. Might be able to heat up the glue and make it easier to come off.

    it may be worse under the sticker than what the sticker is..
    most people put these on to cover scratches etc i think...

    Yeah people put them on alot when the cars been broken into and the side of the lock is damaged.
    
    I'd take it off, if theres damage there then get it smoothed and sprayed, or just buy a new sticker but more subtle, like same colour as your car.
