Bad night

After going out to a bar as I walk up to my car I see my passenger window busted in and had my radar detector stolen from glove box. Feel like killing someone . Anyone know how much a replacement window is going for?

Shame you don't have a car DVR. Then you could kill the guy. I'm all for capital punishment.

Yeah stoning is a great one! Nothing like a good stoning.

I know it's after the fact, but didn't the alarm go off?

I rarely park my car in the streets unless I need to. The car alarm went off I believe but in Brooklyn no one cares unless it's their own property. Just got quoted $233 for the window, not bad but gotta get it re tinted, buy new radar, and probably touch up the passenger door a lil. Just very pissed that I have to waste stupid money because of a junkie.

quick question,

doesn't tint film provide some kind of protection? like when someone breaks the window with hammer, would the film hold the window?

The tint hold it together when it's shattered. I'm sure some of it was held together while the entry point of the brick just went straight through.

Just for shits and giggles, check Craigslist for a recent ad for your type of radar in BK.

They broke in to get the radar (knowing it was there, e.g: if they watched you put it away) or they did and looked for whatever they could get?

No surveillance cams from the surroundings businesses?

Sorry for the terrible experience. Can't believe this stuff still goes on.

Sorry to hear about your break-in. I had my first E60 M5 broken into 10 days after I got it. Still had the temp tags on it.

Just a heads-up in case you don't already do this. When you pull the radar detector off the glass you need to make sure you wipe the suction cup marks off the windshield. Dead give-away to a thief.

I drove to New York couple of weeks ago, i park my car late at night. The next day when i got it washed there were marks everywhere! M5 owners must get a rep for being people you don't mess with. even though I was 18 that day lol
