I think it's the tint on the windows. At night, you can't see into the car and because it's lowered and the windows are dark, I think the jerks are assuming there must be something in there worth getting at.

I don't know...I might have the windows retinted a lighter shade.


I'm not sure if it has to be fixed right away. The metal is showing through right at he crease on the roof. I'm afraid of rusting. I'll get estimates and opinions this week.

The use of a pry bar seems to indicate an amateur at work. A pro would have used a tool to open the door. Of course maybe the Yaris "pops" open if you stress the door hard enough. I'll have to take a look.

Sorry to hear you're going through this kind of crap. I"m waiting for it in my neighborhood, though so far we're not getting hammered by the credit crunch and the unemployment is still running for most people off work.

Here's some 'inspiration' for you...
