sorry about your loss. don't know that price but it should be alot, i guess guess $150US. sounds like someone got startled in the middle of a job, not sure how an alarm will help. i think it would be better to have cameras.

thats some real cheap jerk to steal a windshield wiper

shouldnt be terribly expensive i wouldnt think, def no need for insurance etc.

how about electrifying the car while its locked....and anyone that touches it understands what 25,000 volts is all about

The last time i checked w/ compustar and others, i2s is not on the competible list yet. But having it as just a SHOCK sensor might worth it. Anywayz, yes i was at a wedding at mcCowan and Finch, in Scarborough, so for anyone that goes around that area, WATCH OUT!. I just recently moved to Scarborough myself, this is the first time i had torrible stuff happen to my car. sigh, maybe i should move again

Could it of been a friend just messing with you? I know that's happened to me before and I've done that to my friends before as well.

I guess everyone wants a "piece" of the new IS. But I am sorry to hear that... why cant people just respect each other's property???

Haha be glad its only the wiper. I'll gladly give up a wiper in return for no dmages to the car... I'll even help them take it off.

A shock sensor will be enough, but if you set it too sensitive your car alarm will go off quite often.

try to park the car a better location next time.

Angry a wiper? WTF!!!!

my gooodness man, what is the deal? This is unheard of--even in the hood. Who in the hell steals a whinshield wiper? This is amazing..

I dont think i ever mentioned it, but I have a small dent on the back of my car since last week, It looks as if someone through a ball or small rock at the back of my car, It could have been while driving, but I am not sure. Its right under the back tail light, by the Bend/Curve.
