Default Window Visor Theif

Someone tried to steal my toyota japan window visors!. I came out to my car from best buy last week, and seen that both my front visors were clean cracked right down the middle. I couldn't believe it. Left the roof spoiler alone and other stuff, but tried to take window visors which have mounting clips with the windows up lol. Anyone ever try to take yours?

I ended up buying a new set and listed my old set in the classifieds. I'm just stunned.

i dont think they tried to steal ur visors, but more or less break into ur car to steal ur car.

it happened to my honda prelude before, and assume with the same type of window guide seal, they are trying to do the same.

yeah this happened to me before. on my driver's side front. def was trying to get into my car. there were tear marks on the door panel where they tried to jimmy the lock switch. luckily found one spare for sale here on the classifieds. only reason the car wasn't stolen was the 2 way pager alarm. thank goodness. some people are stupid. it sucks that those few people have to ruin it for a lot of us

Someone tried to steal my visors too. I have a fat crack on my driver side one. I glued it back but I really wish I could just buy a new one.

well i dont think that matters, if the car is cheap or affordable and the thief owner behind the car has a terrible mentality, anything can happen, i.e buying cheap parts, stealing parts. think of it this way, a lexus owner has work euroline rims on their ride, so does a 240sx owner, do you think it matters what car the thief is going to steal or strip for the rims? lexus or not, thieves will always be around any types of car for the parts on it.

but yes ......**** THIEVES.

Please don't touch what isn't yours. I just hate stories like this, and being a victim to this, just makes it worse.
