Sorry to hear this - glass has a habit of getting everywhere too.

When they take the door trim off, ask them to REALLY hoover out all the broken glass otherwise it will rattle / shake when you shut the door. Also make sure they protect paint etc as glass will scratch otherwise (might be worth taking some pics to show no damage prior to them fitting)

Replacement wise it might be ok though....

Had side glass replaced on my MX5 a few years ago - covered on insurance the same way windscreens are, so

Really sorry to hear that

Must have known what they were doing though - it's not exactly trivial to take out a stereo from the S2000....

Really sorry about the car, really sucks -- bxxxxds

Wouldn't have even thought the stock stereo is worth that much - and even if it upgraded they can't see it before they break in. Always figured my stereo was relatively safe in the S.

Ouch!

I agree though. Bunch of feckers. Sickens you to know they'll get away with it.

sorry was in a bit of a rage when I wrote it - they tried to nick it but they only suceeded in pulling the face off and breaking it /

I think they were looking for my TomTom because I had the spot on the window where it was. They prised open the cubble hole but didn't find much to take in there

left the GPS camera detector, but nicked my crappy CD wallet full of burnt drum and bass cd's, must have been chavs!
