    ...your car getting broken into?

    I came out of my apartment to find that the rear drivers side window to my truck had been smashed. However, it appears the only thing that the crooks took was a small tub full of old cassette tapes and some 2+ year old documents (receipts for car repairs, vehicle registration and inspections - I keep the current ones in a folder in my glove compartment). Granted, it'll be a pain to clean up all the shattered glass and I'll be out a $100 deductible, but I find it pretty amusing that someone would go to the trouble of breaking into my car just to get some worthless papers and some Megadeth cassettes.

    In case I can save some money, can anyone suggest a good place to have my window replaced?

    I drive a jeep that's held together with zippers. I don't lock the doors. It has a stock radio and nothing inside of value.

    Three times, in the last few years, some moron has slashed the door to get inside, ruffle up the papers and leave empty handed. Not even any megadeath cassettes.

    If the zippers are too complex, dingbat, try the flipping door before ya' cost me the deductible.

    whenever money comes out of my pocket b/c of some douchebag, it's never funny.

    bnb,

    speaking of megadeth, you going to the concert in May at Woodlands, assuming you live in HOuston.

    you have to laugh about such things. No sense in getting yourself all worked up. I had my car for 3 weeks and it got broken into. I was more upset that they didnt take anything. If you break my window...take something..anything. whats funny is that my windows werent tinted yet and the car still had paper plates and it was new car clean. You could clearly see that there was NOTHING in the car. But i suppose the guys who broke in werent the smartest fellas

    You'll have to direct that question to subtomic.

    I'm neither in Houston, nor into metal. Dippy hippy folk music and blues are more my style.

    :cool:

    When I lived with my parents in college, I drove an old Ford Ranger with a nice, but old CD player. Anyone could get in by sliding open the back window. Once, I had someone break in through that back window, scratch up the face of the CD player trying to get it out, steal my CDs, steal a portable CD player, and left a pair of pants (I kid not). The following night, they came back by and left my CD case and about 1/2 of my CDs that were left. Nothing like criminals returning what they didn't want. (Really, I think it was kids in the neighborhood, but I never found out.)

    Sounds like me and you have the same taste in the funny ones.

    Have you ever seen "The Big Hit"?
