My car was broken into last Thursday night near Damen and Division
The scumbags busted my window by prying it open where the passenger window meets the windshield and in between the window and door. So my door is dented outward, my windshield was busted, there are gouges in my paint from front to back from glass or whatever, my center console was completely ripped out. There was glass everywhere in my car and in clothes I had in there, and I mean sharp as hell shards, not chunks. They surprisingly didn't go through my top which is 2 weeks old. They stole 2 cell phones and a V1 radar detector my keys and who knows what else. Thank god a woman saw them and yelled so they didn't have time to get my JL Audio 450/4 or my 10W3. They also got nothing out of the secret compartment-this made me smile. So my lesson here is I will not leave any valuables in my car again, I will get the most annoyingly loud alarm, I am disabling my trunk button, and I may get seat locks and take the "leave the doors unlocked" route to avoid this glass breaking, top ripping bullshit. The thing that somewhat scares me about this incident is that this was a very well lit area where many people can see from there apartments and it was only 10:45. The good thing is that the reaction time of the police (2 squads) was about 1-2 minutes.
