Sad Sight
So I wake up saturday morning to come into the office for a little bit and this is what I walk out to. Just lovely.
It looks like the tint held the glass together so they got pissed and tried to rip it outside and by doing so scratched up the paint pretty nicely leaving a few small gouges. They stole my iphone 3g, the faceplate for a broken headunit, my gate key to my mom's neighborhood and my work security badge. Funny thing is, I had a lot more of value in there that they didnt touch, ie: Ray Bans, money, personal information, a non locked roof rack, the actual radio itself that the faceplate was attatched to (yes they detatched the faceplate and only took that), as well as full access to my engine bay and all my mods but none of that was gone. Cops dusted for prints but I am not too confident anything will come of this. I am more concerned with the 325 to replace the glass, having to go get it tinted now, and the fact that I have a feeling of no security. Guess it's just part of life but I do not wish this on anyone else. |

Oh man, that sucks, I'm so sorry that happened. Insurance should cover the window, won't it? Going to invest in an alarm now?
Hate stupid thieves that take things that aren't really worth anything, makes the whole fiasco completely pointless. On the bright side, at least with the tint all the glass stayed together, so you won't have as much glass dust and such inside your car for the next million years. Those scratches look pretty minor in the pics, some rubbing compound should get them out pretty easy.

Thanks guys. And thank you suckerface for the idea of the compound. I will be trying to remove those soon. Yea there is not much glass inside mainly just inside the door, it rattles when I close it now. As for insurance, my deductible is 500 so it is just low enough that they cannot help lol. And I wish the guy would have just knocked on my door I would much rather have just given him the 100 bucks he is prolly gonna get and I wouldnt have to deal with this.

omg I know I saw that story and that's exactly what I said. This is proof zombies exist and the police try and cover it up with some drug abuse story.

Maybe they were more interested in the security badge or the gate clicker...are you missing anything with your address or any work uniforms, etc?
