Not a spotted post, but a warning to those who go to Richmond Centre occasionally.
I went to RC today around 530pm, parked my car at the shelter-ed parking lot, (outside McDonald) stayed for around 2 hrs, and came out with my rear passenger window broken. A Hollister Jacket and 2 cushions were stolen.... this ******ing pissed me off. In fact, I did see a suspicious mid-age caucasian wondering around the parking lot before I parked. He stared at my car, stared at me, I knew something's wrong with him, but I never thought of a break-in.

Anyways, things do happen, nothing can be done except claiming ICBC. Does anyone have a glass shop recommendation?

damn dude sorry to hear about your car. I recommend Bismark Collision on Minoru and Alderbridge. Good guys and good work. They replaced my rear window in my previous car. it was quick and very well done.

Actually ill be heading to HK later in the month to see a friend, any suggestions for crap to buy for the car there? and where? Ive been looking online but cant find anything small enough/interesting to pick up lol.

and ****, sorry to hear about the break in man. ****ing ****s these days in Vancouver I swear. why us man? why not, *cough*, one of those M3's or something? (j/k)


I actually managed to get my hood repainted before I left and decided to also repaint that front lip and my rear bumper (....had a uhm.. drunken 'bump' with an SL while reverse parking it one night ). I know u suggested CF but uh, I need rims before I could fully pull off that look

Hey! I'm going back to HK for a few days too! but I might not have time to hang out with you cause I've got a tight schedule

anyways, hurry up and get rims, be pimp! lol

should I just bring my car to Speedy Glass? I checked Bismark, it's not one of the express glass shop?

The Speedy in North Van is a good one ... but you gotta be careful because not all Speedy Glass places are good.

Sux about your car man.

most broken side windows aren't just a broken window tho... they involve some body and paint work, and some trim work... i suggest vieta import autobody on 2nd avenue... but bismark is good as well...

thank you for the suggestions guys. I'm at speedy glass @ Kingsway right now, hope we will do a good job on it And tmw I will bring it to N-motion to red0 my aftermarket tint. Claiming ICBC for such damage shouldn't affect my insurance rate right?

won't affect your insurance premiums unless this happens frequently...

look for scratches in the paint on the top of the painted surface...
look for scratches on the interior door trim panel
look for scratches on the window switch bezel
