Someone breaks my car window
I thought this is something I would never experienced but i'll be fine.
Yesterday I went to work at CVS Pharmacy in Bayside, Queens, NY at the Windsor Park shopping center. Like always I parked my 02' Pathfinder at the far end of the parking lot because I knew I would be there for long hours 2 - 10. I left work about 9:45 i'm walking to my car, i'm like
MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW IS BROKEN. I look apparantly someone went into my glovebox and my center console. Apparantly these or this person took my Garmin i5 navigation system (was in the center console) and seems like they took my Sony headphones. Luckily my camera and iPod was not taken though it was in there too. But still...
Unfortunately before this incident too I was reading how this happened to 13 cars this week in the Bayside area next thing I know my car is the next victim.

Sorry to hear, by chance did you leave the mount for your GPS visible? Very common out there as the same exact thing happened to my nephew. He left the mount in the dash and of course that tells a low life scum bag trash that the mount goes to something. Results, busted window and by by GPS. He lives in Queens also.

Pearlpower,
Yeah I didn't realize how the mount can have such an affect. Especially since I generally leave it on the time I never take it out and i've had that thing for at least 5 months now or so and never occured to me it was a sign.
Took a trip to Safelite and they will fix it Monday for $200 including tax. Insurance will not cover it.
As long as I have the car it's fine life can go on.

Was that the only thing visible in your car?

Yeah everything else including the GPS was tucked away in the center console. I never try to keep things visible except that one thing and unfortunately it did cost me a window but it has made me wonder if my glovebox had been locked would they have tried to break it open.

OH NO!!!
Man I kinda know how you feel, I just got my Legend Coupe shipped from Arizona up here to Canada, and at 3 a.m. when I went to go shut the light off I look outside the window and I saw a guy standing behind my car, I watched him for about 10 minutes when he finally went up to my driver window and threw an elbow, SOMEHOW the stock 1991 alarm went off and I screamed "GET THE ***** AWAY" and that guy took off... I felt so violated watching someone hitting my window, and the thing that killed me the most was that there was NOTHING in the car (except for a claybar in the back on the floor which I doubt he wanted)...
