You wouldnt attempt to do brain surgery if you were not a brain surgeon..same principle. Good Luck, and keep us posted on the progress. Sorry to hear this has happened to you. I have gotten into a habit of even removing the ignition switch if I have to park in a questionable area...I've had a few people comment about this feature and question me about it, so I don't take any chances. Kids and sportscars and joyrides....not in my baby!
remove your ignition switch?

NO RESPECT....yah im going with the dealer on this one...ill let you guys know what the work gets quoted for....

BTW to all that say something about private garages...this happened in a parking lot, it can happen to anyone even if you do have a private garage....that is unless you never take the car out of the garage...

I will post the total cost of damage above...has anyone seen the car broken into in this fashion before?

I don't get why people would want to steal a modern car or vandalize one. This is why I like living in a respectable redneck city where EVERYONE has a ******* gun. NO ONE messes with you, because you might just pull a .45 and cap their asses hard. Not to mention there are many people here with good Christian values.

I've left my car running out in public, walked away, and came back to find it completely safe and sound. The people are generally educated (I go to Purdue University and live near it), and many are religious (I'm not, but I find it convenient that everyone else is). When people see my car, they don't give me a dirty look. They say, "Nice car" and ask questions.

Then there's the fact that every redneck here has a V8 sitting at home and loves cars.

Then everyone has guns. We've got stupidity, integrity, and fear covered. No one will **** with you. In fact, I'll be getting my own gun soon. I'd like to see some idiot **** with my car when I have a .45 in their face.

Yeah man I know exactly how you feel. I was at work, working at Bloomingdales in the mall. All of a sudden I get a call from my mom on my cell, shes like are you ok? Im like yeah everythings fine whats up, shes like well if a cop comes to you, dont be nervous, someone broke into your car. So a cop came, took me outside, same exact thing, hole in the same spot, ripped my ignition up. Someone saw them and they ran I guess, leaving their tools in my passenger seat. My 2000 Audi S4 could have been stolen that night. I loved that car
