Shattered rear window

Some A-Hole threw a bottle through my rear window. It hit with such force that part of the bottle ended up on the dash board. A neighbor thinks that if came from a moving SUV. I got 3 estimates. $506, $469, and $748. Because the car is new and there aren't a lot of them, it is somewhat expensive. I hope that this is a random act of vandalism and no has a personal grudge against me. Probably some karma from my youth coming back at me.

Insurance should cover that right? I know mine covers all glass.

Isnt that the AA symbol? Maybe someone who had a family member die from a drunk driver and took thier anger out on u. Not that im saying that you are a alcolholic just that you may not know what you are sporting on your car.

it's incredibly hard to stick your body out of a SUV and throw it....could be from a sun roof window though.

if the driver was driving 40mph and the person standing through the sun roof threw it at the right moment then that's possible, but it takes so much precision ......it would had to be planned........

you should really suspect some people in your neighborhood.......do you have any beef with any teens there?

but that's some f up stuff, during the summer kids were throwing rocks into rear windows around my neighborhood too.

hope everything turns out fine. and do you have a garage?

Sorry about your broken window. Try to park off the street. If it was directed at you, then there will be more.

Ask around to see if others have the same problem. If so, then it is not directed at you.

That should be covered under the comprehensive part of your insurance.

Did you report it to the police and if so, did they say there has been other random acts of vandalism in your neighborhood?

What I meant about the sticker was that, A drunk person would think it was funny to throw a beer bottle through the window a former advertised former alcoholic.

Checking on insurance but I doubt it covers the damage. We have $500 deductible. Our covers windshield repair, however, this was replacement. By keeping a high deductible we are able to insure the Yaris, a 2008 CR-V, and 2004 Dodge Ram for $1,300. One war or another you pay for it.
