LOL at the expensive air fresheners. A little hot headed as I was typing and not really thinking straight. I did have an alarm but they must've done a really smooth job not letting the alarm go off. It sucks but I am glad nothing was taken.

Anyways, thanks for the kind assurance. I feel a little better now and got a great deal on a new glass from honda for $162 plus tax. It'll be in tomorrow and I should be installing it then or on Thursday. Now, for the ones that have replaced their own shattered glass, how did you clean up all the glass in between the panels as well as get the broken piece out of the runners? I just took a quick look so I don't know exactly. I'll figure it out in time.

Well, thanks for letting me vent and hope these good for nothing people get what they deserve. What is more upsetting is I rarely park it outside and when I finally do, this happens. It almost makes me want to park outside again because I know they will be back for sure. And this time they will have a glock sticking up their asses.
Vacuum the broken glass up as much as you can. But you'll never get all of it out. There will be little pieces in there forever. When I lived in AZ, my Civic seemed to have a target on it that attracted asshole thieves.

Glad to hear nothing was taken.

Window replacement seems cheaper than seat replacement

Do you not have glass coverage on your comprehensive policy? It may be covered.

Hey man.. i'/m sorry too.. this happened to me. BUT i caught them right when they hopped in the car, unfortunately they had already busted my passanger window. i had a hard top on so that was not gonna get cut obviously.

I have an aftermarket one.. and you cant tell the difference..trust me.. save money, and either go get a used one, or an aftermarket.. fits the same!

Wow - at least the second attempt on the north side of Chicago in the last 2 weeks! If you remember, mine were stolen very recently - I'm glad that at least yours were not taken...

I wonder if the police could take any fingerprints inside your car...I know that the guy they suspected of fencing my seats had a record...I've been told he is like 300lbs so don't think he was the one who actually broke in, but who knows...
