Whew, that stuff happens a LOT here in San Antonio if one isn't careful... That is lousy, but thankfully at least you do still have your car!

So wait, was the purse in plain sight or hidden in the glove box, or under the seat?

If it was in plain sight, no duh someone will break your window for a purse.

Good catch! No they didn't, I replaced it with a button head bolt.

The rangers said no one reported an alarm going off. I don't believe our cars have window sensors for the alarm.

Her purse was on the floor board, my mistake, one that I won't forget.

Good luck. When my BRZ was broken into last year it took a full month to get a replacement window.

I make sure I never leave anything out to tempt them to break my window.

Probably just did a smash n grab through the window anyway. Alarm won't be set off by that unless you have an aftermarket shock/motion sensor type system.

Sorry you have to deal with this. By the way, looks like the rubber edging towards the B pillar is messed up - did they try to squeeze a crowbar through there or something or was that like that before the glass smash?

Yeah, alarms don't help much against this. It takes less than one second to commit the act. Perhaps someone was someone suspicious scoping out car windows?

I'm thinking the indent is from using a tool to smash the glass. If you're near the area, check the nearby roadsides and trash cans; sometimes they ditch the stuff they don't need.

My next mod will be Tint and a good aftermarket alarm.
Sorry about what happened to your car and hopefully they catch the low-life

This is why I don't bother locking the doors. If I leave something valuable in the car and it gets stolen its my own fault. At least then your not out a window as well. Good luck getting a new window.

This is why I leave my key in the car with the windows rolled down. If the car gets stolen, then it's my own damn fault. At least I'm not out a steering column and a window or two.
