Car broken in to.

So I was sitting in my room, working on a lab report when my cell phone rings with an "Unavailable" number for caller ID. I answer it, and it's Public Safety. They tell me my car has been broken in to, in the parking lot. They come pick me up to take me to the lot.

Long story short: Drivers side front lower window smashed, whole stereo cage ripped out, and stolen. Including my Rockford Fosgate head unit, and my garage door opener (in the pocket under the HU).

There really isnt that much damage to the surrounding area of the console, and they even unplugged the HU instead of just ripping the wires out!

Thank god they didnt look through the car more thoroughly or they would have found:
$3000 of golf clubs in the trunk.
$400 radar detector in the armrest.
$300 sub in the trunk.
$250 amp in the trunk.

I took a couple pics, and the PD said to call the "Telephone Report Unit" tomorrow morning to file a report. (no witness = no squad car)

Could have been MUCH worse, but obviously it still sucks.

So...how hard will it be to get a replacement window?

Ahhh MAN, that sucks, Scott!

I take it they don't have cameras in the parking lot? Good thing they didn't get too much or cause a LOT of damage (the upper window would really be a pain).

Will your insurance cover the window repair? Is it worth paying your deductible?

Sorry to hear that Bwana. Hope insurance is able to cover most of the repairs...

I'll have to go double check the peices on the ground...
I have a grey interior, so that means it's probably blue, right?

I can relate to what you are going through right now. It happened to me a while back. It really makes you mad. They damaged the door below the handle so I had to have that fixed and painted. They broke the right back lower window as well. Did that just to get a stock stereo unit. Good luck and I am sorry to hear that.
