My First Post! - My Poor Baby
Hello to everyone. This is my first post as you all can see. I've been reading this forum before i purchase my "Are Ex Eight" and this forum has always been a great help. I bought a 04' RX8 GT manual 34k on it and im loving everything about it except it looks so damn good that it grabs too much attention 
hehehe, anyways i have my 8 for almost a month. Last night when i took my 8 out with my friend, parked it at Downtown Vancouver. After leaving the Club and finding out that my front window passenger side was smashed and my brandnew GPS was stolen. I know it was my fault because i left the mount on and that was the cost of the break in. But ohh well thats life! I'm just sharing my memorable moments with my 8 
but i hope none of you 8 owners go through my mistake, well now i've learned my lesson.
GUDNYTS Y'ALL

Welcome.
I could rant about the crack-heads and scum who break into cars. I could rant about the police who are too short-staffed to catch them. I could rant about the justice system, and its revolving door for petty crime. But I won't....
Get'er fixed, and enjoy the summer in your new car!

I recently got a nuvi 750 and used to leave the mount suction cupped to my window until I saw 2 BMW's with broken windows near my street one morning which had been ransacked. Now I take the suction cup off and store it in the cupholder.
Can never be too careful I guess.

Portable Navs are an easy target, and in demand. The theft rate for them has been through the roof over the last year or two.
Always remove the unit & the mounting brackets, and like Chain said, wipe down the windshield.
Sorry yours got jacked. There's no lifeform lower than a thief.

Usually it's the rockchip free side window as it's easier to break than the windshield.

and that is why I love having a palm phone w/ a bluetooth GPS 'puck'. hide the puck, and nothing is left to see. down side is I have to grab the phone to see the screen. c'est la vie. I'm sorry someone messed with your baby, I know if anyone touched my car wrong I'd be put in jail.
