This may have already been answered, but what was your response when you found your car like this? Did you call the police, file an insurance claim, or what?
I ask because I haven't had a vehicle broken into and honestly wouldn't know what to do if it happened. |

I feel the pain; my car got egged while I was standing next to it.
Probably why they only threw one. Chipped the paint on my rear bumper nicely. Fortunately I cleaned up the egg immediately.

Obligatory post:
Worst thing done to me was a couple of beer cans and bottles left all over around my car. I was doing some midnight cramming and got to the campus lot at midnight and my car was sticking out.

Around here thieves will see you go in a theater, then break in. They get your address off papers in the glove box and rob your house. On top of $7 popcorn you might find your car AND home broken into by the time the credits roll.
Makes me love my blue ray player. I can pause it, have my gun, and the cars are in the garage. |

And yeah, filed an insurance claim next morning - thankfully glass in MA is covered for free. Just took a little time to actually get it fixed as they had to order the window from the dealership as it is a new car. Everything is all fixed and good to go again thankfully ! Safelite did an awesome job with the repair. Highly recommended if this ever (hopefully not!) happens to anyone else. |

Did you just drive around with no window until the window came in, or did you utilize a rental? |

Toyota wouldnt give me a rental for this because it was vandalism, nothing covered under warranty for that. I could have paid daily for a rental if I wanted but didn't feel like dishing out the funds daily to do so, call me cheap - oh well. Haha. But yes I did end up driving it around until the window came in (she is still so new I could not, NOT drive her ! plus this is my one and only daily driver, I had no option lol) So instead of opting for the hideous "trash bag" look over the window, went to Home Depot, bought a piece of plexi glass, a glass cutter, some electrical tape to keep it in place and fit the piece of plexi glass in where the window was (anddd some Goo-gone to remove the adhesive from the tape once I removed the plexi glass window). Worked out damn well I must say, and didnt look half bad ! Only downside - getting in and out of your car thru the passenger seat, but I am only 5'4 sooo .. wasnt a huge issue for me, unless attempting to get out of your car anywhere there are a ton of people around - then you look like an ass, but hey - it worked until the window came in ! and I would just get out and say "shes RHD" LOL. |
