    Default My BMW window got busted in :(

    I walked out to my car this morning to take my son to daycare and the driver's side window was laying in my seat. There is glass everywhere. They smashed it in and took my radar detector. It looks like they went through the center console, but I only had change in there. I keep my car pretty clean so I think all they got was the radar.. but I feel so violated. That car is my baby

    I'm sitting outside now waiting for the cops to show up and we didn't touch anything on that side of the car, but I'm sure they won't be able to do anything.

    That absolutely sucks. I understand the sense of violation. My last summer in Detroit, my SUV was broken into four times in one month. I kept nothing valuable in the car, but it was so frustrating and upsetting. Hope your police department does something. I couldn't even get the Detroit PD to come out.

    I called the police almost 2 hours ago. I called back on the non emergency number about 45 minutes ago and the lady said they are short handed but they put my call in. This means that they probably won't even come out.. grrrrrr!

    Your insurance will probably cover it. It's a good idea to call them as soon as something like this happens, that way they can get the process going. Also, a lot of auto glass places will come out to wherever you are to do the repair.

    The cop just came out and he couldn't get any fingerprints. We also don't have a serial number for the radar so they can't do much for that either. Really the only thing I can do is go around to pawn shops to see if I can recognize it.. is it worth it to do that?

    It'll cost us $155 to replace the window, and I'm dropping it off today to get fixed.

    Yeah...that SUCKS. I had my car broken into in Key West a few years ago..all they took was the cheap ass radio that I was about to replace anyway so no biggie. They didnt cause any damage which means they either picked the lock or I forgot to lock the car,which is good because I didnt have a broken window.

    Now I have a alarm on my car and a button lock,so when I get out I automatically hit the button and it locks the car and arms the alarm.

    Did you have an alarm on it? I cant believe with a car that expensive you wouldnt.....but def. get one now.

    It does have an alarm, but I guess it doesn't go off when the window is busted out? It even has this sensor thing that goes off if the car is uneven and locked, like somebody trying to put it up on a trailer. I know the doors were locked too.. I'm baffled as to why the alarm didn't go off.

    That sucks.... But it could be worse- one of my friends came out one morning, and not only was her window busted in, the dude was taking a nap in the back seat!
    Sorry about your window, though....

    Aww that sucks ! My radar got stolen too but nothing else. Which was weird because I had money on the floor because I had just came home from work and was too lazy to get it . I also had a gun in the backseat hidden in its case and that's all they took !

    That's horrible. I had a bad incident once. I went out to Olive Garden in a nice area of town during the Christmas season. We had just done a christmas concert and decided to go eat something. I left my bassoon in the back seat of the car (10's of thousands of dollars) because leaving it in the trunk with the nasty cold could crack the wood. I parked right by the corner of the lot by the road under a lamp. There was also a necklace in there from my mom and some christmas presents.
    I came out and my window was busted in the same way. They took everything. About 5 cars total were broken into at the same time. Infact some of the cheaper gifts I had gotten had been left in someone elses car. ODD
    But my guess is they thought my bassoon was an M-16. I had Air Force tags and the case looks similar. Too bad for them. No one knows what happened with the instrument. There were seriel numbers the cops were on the lookout in all the pawn shops. Nothing turned up. The AF got me new bassoon and that was that.
    Insurance covered the window..but none of the stuff inside that was stolen
    That was a bad christmas
    I'm not who I say I am.

    Ahhh that sucks Im sorry, at least they only got the detector.
    I know it was expensive but at least thats all they got.
    Last summer my window got smashed out too.
    The only thing I left in there was a pile of clothes on the passenger seat.
    There was nothing exciting visible from the windows. They dont care
    they will dig around and see what they can find. They probably
    thought you had all sorts of goodies hidden in there.
    And a few months before the other one got smashed
    because I did not notice when we got out but my nit wit friend left her purse
    on the floor.

    Yeah for sure, my wallet was in the center console, no money in it.
    Just my drivers license. The one time the wallet was not in my back
    pocket. FUCK.
    They wrote a bad check in my name with someone elses bank account.
    The tried to open a Macy's account in my name.
    Thankfully they were stopped right away and could not get to far.
    Fucking bastards! Die! haha

    ^^Yep. I leave nothing in view (except trash sometimes, LOL). I even take my radio faceplate in the house with me or wherever I go. Sometimes I'm glad my car has a lot of body damage, so it looks kinda ghetto

    I'm sorry this happened to you OP

    It sucks ass, and is inconvenient but at least nobody got hurt (except my car) and it wasn't stolen, or I wasn't in an accident. I can always get another radar detector. The thing that pisses me off the most is feeling so violated

    I'm taking it in today to get the window fixed and once I get her back, I'm going to handwash her, detail the inside and keep her in the garage! We only parked out front of the house because we bought some groceries yesterday. We're in the best neighborhood in our town so I'm a little uneasy now and I'm keeping the house doors locked at all times now.

    I feel that SAME way about the douche who stole my phone and racked up a million calls in the few hours it took for me to realize it was gone( I didnt notice until after work...I must have dropped it going in). He even called CUSTOMER SERVICE a million times after I had the phone shut down when I realized it was gone.prob to bitch about why "his" phone wasnt working. Fucker. I texted and called everyone he called(got the numbers on my statement)saying that the person who called them from this number stole my phone and was a lying fucking criminal thief and that they prob knew that since he prob bragged about it(being so ballsy as to call cust service I cant imagine he'd have been low key!)and I was sending the cops to get them(I didnt). I was PISSED

    Make sure any paperwork is still in the glove box or where ever. Lots of personal info on that insurance card.

    Funny thing is.. my husband's brand new (only used twice) $1500 taylor made golf clubs were in the trunk and are still there unscathed. What a bunch of dumbasses. Instead, they made off with my $100 radar detector.

    My car window got smashed in & they took my bag and wallet- by lucky chance, I had left my bank card in my jacket pocket & took all my cash with me. I had to go to the DMV to get a new license and when I told them what happened they said, "Join the club."

    My paycheck stub was in the wallet. I always wonder if they sold my SSN- huge market for that in California.

    Maxine, have you checked your credit reports lately? If you have a police report for it you can submitt it to one of the 3 credit bureaus (Experian,Equifax,Transunion) and get a 7 year fraud alert on your file.
    They won't be able to open anything in your name. Also you wont get annoying credit apps in the mail constantly. I am going to to this.

    !!!! that sucks! Reminds me, I need to start removing my radar detector from view in my car. I used to do it all the time when I lived in Hyde Park, but perhaps I've been lulled into a false sense of security here...

    Sorry about your mishap, L&L...

    When I drove one, my friends would teasingly tell me that "BMW stands for 'Break My Window'"...
