eastsurf84 01-28-2007, 08:31 PM I just posted these in the west forum, but I figured more people could see and enjoy them here. I have to get the door replaced
This is the aftermath of my car getting broken into last night.

toxin440 01-28-2007, 09:00 PM holy shit - criminals are stupid.
Did they get into the car and actually steal anything? Reason im asking because if they did - they SHOULD have just straight up smashed the window. Would have still sucked ass but wouldnt ahve costed near as much :(
I'm sorry for your loss - I know what it feels like to have you 8 broken into :( cept I got my rear and side window out the window.
DarkBrew 01-28-2007, 09:00 PM Holy shit! What'$ the damage?
whoneedspistons 01-28-2007, 09:09 PM that is insane... i mean if they were going to do that they should have just broken the glass.... what idiots...
DaveCM203 01-28-2007, 09:13 PM Breaking the glass would have been too easy. Duh. You can't do that.
Clavius 01-28-2007, 09:14 PM Like ok.. seriously wtf.. you had some stupid ass theives.. so they had a crowbar or some form of metal yet decided to pry your door open instead of just smashing the window.. did they think "Hey if we pry the door open the alarm wont go off!" lol..
I hope they didnt steal anything valuable and your door gets replaced quickly.
DaveCM203 01-28-2007, 09:14 PM Kind of reminds me when a buddy of mine had his Mustang convertable broken into. They cut the top and the doors were unlocked.
eastsurf84 01-28-2007, 09:55 PM The first insurance quote was $1200. I have a $500 deductible. I am going to bring it to some body shops, and get some second opinions.
Nothing was taken, I think my alarm scared them off. I was in a casino for about 2hrs and came out to this

Was there anything visible in the 8? Something that caught their eye, or just random?
cas2themoe 01-30-2007, 03:32 PM Thats sucks man. Sorry.
TheBri 01-30-2007, 04:52 PM That is fuct. Sorry, man. :(
People who steal from, break into, or otherwise screw with someone's car should be fair game for any type of retaliation; up to an including beating the ever-living shite out of them. In Texas I'm sure they are. In most other states *you* would get in trouble (to varying degrees depending on state) for attacking/defending your personal property.
Hell, I'm still pissed off at the worthless POS that keyed the passenger side of my truck. And that happend ~2 years ago.
eastsurf84 01-30-2007, 05:37 PM Thanks for the comments guys. I am going to drop it off on Monday to get fixed. I am getting a new door panel. Hopefully I am not disappointed with the paint job, I am sick to my stomach thinking of all the things that could go wrong
BigOLundh 01-30-2007, 06:07 PM Man - this totally blows. Sorry to hear this.

You can get in trouble like that anywhere, even here. Fortunately we've been taught to leave no witnesses and to make sure there is only one person left (me!) to tell the judge their side of the story! One can't argue if one can't speak! Appearances are everything!

I was perfectly satisfied with my paint job after my deer crash. They ended up respraying/blending almost 1/2 way to the rear of the car. I can't tell at all - even in bright, summer sunlight.
eastsurf84 01-31-2007, 03:38 PM Yeah, my buddy is really anal about his cars and when his dad crashed his turboed/nitrous passat he brought it there. This was a guy who had a carbon fiber hood on his car, but everytime he waxed his car he also waxed the stock hood...that never left the garage, just so the car and stock hood would all have been waxed the same amount of times!!
BlueFrenzy 01-31-2007, 10:17 PM Sorry to see that! Good luck with the fix!
