Sorry about your loss!
If your gf refuses to spend 1/10 of what you're willing to spend on her, it's time to cut the cord...period!
I mean that should say something about how she feels about you (and your car)...right? It basically says...to her you're not even worth f*&king $8!
You want to keep hanging around with the gf such as her? .....seriously bro, don't be such a desparate loser!
Besides....I doubt that she would pay your ded.....she's just saying it cuz she knows you're pissed at the moment.... Once you actually ask her to shell out $100, you'll be in a good long argument....
Think about it, bro.........you think she would easily pay $100 when she refused to even spend $8 on you?? I seriously doubt it...
Sorry it's just my view on this....

The thread title states it all. "g/f said it would be better....."
Sorry for the loss.
Sorry for the loss.
If I were in your shoes(I wouldn't be), I would pay the deductable myself and not do anything with her until she made it up somehow.

Nope, she doesn' have to, if she doesn't want to. You think a gf who refuses to spend $8 on you will hesitate to break up with you over $100? I doubt it.
Like I said...refusing to spend $8 on him when he's spending 10 times more on her SHOULD say something about how she feels about him.....
Ofcourse unless she's jobless and seroiusly broke......then...she can't give what she doesn't have...right? Then it's forgive-able..

If she's willing to pay the deductible, I think she's still a keeper. She was under the false assumption that nothing bad ever happens to cars on the street. I bet shes never had her car broken into before. Now if she's learned her lesson she will be willing to spend the 8 bucks in the future. you might want to drop hints about how nice it would be for her to have the car detailed for you. How she responds to such a suggestion would be quite telling about how she feels about the whole incident.
Of course, if she objects and isn't apologetic, it's probably time to get out.
Also, Shame on you for leaving anything aftermarket visible in the car. Shame shame shame.

yeah i think you guys are being quite harsh on the girlfriend here. A criminal broke into the op's car. Thats not the girlfriends fault, it was a choice that may have been prevented...but people make mistakes. Making mistakes is inevitable thats why making up afterwards is so nice 
.
Any of you that are saying she should be dumped because she doesn't care about his property need to really reevaluate your lives. I love my car but in the end its just a hunk of metal, she's a person and it sounds like she's willing to pay the deductible, so she clearly acknowledges that the next time she'd pay the $8 and save the risk.

pay it yourself. People make mistakes. Holding it over her head will do nothing but aggravate the situation.. paying it yourself makes you look like the good guy.
next time, pay the 8 dollars yourself. If you want to afford a RX8 then you need to afford everything that goes with it.
ANd I agree.. her offer is a trap.. maybe not deliberate but it will bite you in the end.

Sorry to hear about your loss. But seriously, how is this your girlfriends fault? Its your car, you were driving it, if she didn't want to up the cash for parking, you should have drove to the ATM and paid yourself. She made a suggestion, and you did it. I'm sure she feels like **** about it, but it is YOUR car YOU drove it.

huskyfan - no offense - but you are going about this all wrong. You are basically blaming your girlfriend for what happened - simply b/c she tried to save $8. What if you had paid the $8 for parking and then your car got hit/stolen/etc while it was parked there? Would it be YOUR fault? NO. some a$$hole stole your stuff and that can happen anywhere. you are upset and you are upset with the dumbA$$ who messed up your car and since you don't know who did it and you can't unleash your anger on THEM, you are redirecting it onto your girlfriend.
you tell your girlfriend that you overreacted b/c you were so upset about what happend to your car.
you tell her how sorry you are that you even - for a minute - in ANY way held her responsbile. you tell her that it's the OTHER persons fault.
you tell her how wrong you were to make her feel guilty over it.
you tell her that YOU will pay the deductible. tell her how much she means to you - and that she/your relationship is worth more than your car ever could be.
When she is banging your brains out, blowing you all night long - telling you to give it to her again - thank me.

You better believe I will from now on!! And she has promised me that if I request to park in a secure lot and don't have any cash on me, she will pay for it.

Damn that suck !
but how did they know that you have all those stuff in the car? people usually smash the window ONLY if they see anything valuable in the car. you probably left the wires or the iPod out or something didnt u ?
and ALWAYS, ALWAYS park the car on BIG main street, not some side small roads.
I never park in parking lot, cuz it cost 21 bux to park anywhere in the city's parking lot, so what I do is, I take everything away b4 I leave the car. and usually I left the drinks and astray open, so when ******* pass by and "peek" in my car, they will be like "ahh, empty"
Yes I do have In-Dash NAV but people in NYC are after Portable NAV than In-Dash Nav. cuz its a nightmare to take in-dash nav out (at least couple of minutes, and it will make big noise cuz u trying to drag it out), plus its usually password locked, and they might break the unit in the "take out process" (waste of time), so they just go after the portable ones.
so that means in NYC, if u leave any GPS cuddle visible in the car, say bye bye to your window (like my brother's car)
Geico gave u the check already? You know u can get a pair of used seats from Mazmart. for like 500 bux I think ? not sure if its still there tho. u can contact Mazmart for info (and keep the rest of the Geico money in ur pocket to ease your pain)

)The only thing showing was my Sirius satellite radio, but I never thought they would break in to take that! Each satellite radio has a identification #, which means that all I had to do was call Sirius and deactivate it. Once that's done, it's worthless. Stupid criminals, you would think they would know that.
And as for the check, I have a lienholder on my car. As such, they have to put the lien on the check (I know, I am a claims adjuster myself for a different company). I'd much rather have OEM stuff on my car than aftermarket, too.

If the seats needed to be replaced, it would be $1800 per seat. That is insane.
OEM parts have some of the highest markups out there. I put it up there with movie popcorn. $2700 just for seat covers is one of the biggest ripoffs ever. Especially because it probably cost Mazda <$100 to create them.

And clearly it's the a$$hole who broke into my cars fault. But it never would have happened in the first place if my g/f has just paid the $8 and we parked in the secure lot.
I spent $80 on the night, and she couldn't pay $8. I don't care how you slice it, that is cheap.

Got my car back today. They detailed the interior, the car looks NICE. Only cost me $100, got a new center console, new seat trims, new window. Hopefully my rates won't go up.

The worst part is that you will now feel like you are taking a major gamble any time you park your car in a public area. Since my car got keyed I'm paranoid as hell now whenever I park in public that my trip to the grocery store, friends house, etc is going to cost me another trip to the bodyshop.
