There was literally nothing to steal in my car, except a coin purse... cause that’s worth it???!! Sad day.

jus glad he didn’t realize the price of my obd2 scanner sitting around.

Nothing else was broken or vandalized. How should I make a claim with Geico regarding this? I have a police report with me. Luckily there was a police officer already parked behind my car working on something else....

Sucks sorry. Is Geico going to replace for free?

There's also the option of doing it yourself if you dont want the claim on your record. should be a very easy install.

Ebay, get a genuine used glass or NEW FROM LEXUS if you have it that way lol and it will take you all of 30 minutes to replace it.

1) I was working at a clinic/hospital around College Park when this happened. Im staying right around Emory University though.

2) Geico is going to cover the window, only problem is that its not until tomorrow. I dont have the time to bring it in to a shop, so at least they provide the mobile service. Its just really cold and rainy in Atlanta so I'll be praying for my interior tonight. I appreciate the ebay links though.

3) Gonna try and be more mindful of where I park....

Most of the “Atlanta Area” lol like Forest Park, Riverdale, East Point, etc. I’m from Newnan which is a pretty safe area. That area which is Coweta County and then Fayette County right next to us are pretty safe. Just try to keep absolutely nothing in your car if possible.

tint your windows, if thief cannot see inside your car, they wouldn't bother wasting time to break your windows.
