Muther fathers! Yup, they effed up the X pretty bad.

I always dreamed of catching a thief leaning over in the seat with their leg sticking out - then I come by and SLAM the fucking door on his bitch-ass leg!

So sorry to hear and see it. Looks like they first tried to break in, gave up and then busted the window.

Sorry. It's a real bite when that happens. My 89 Scorpio got bricked for a f-ing child seat once.

Love to show them the business end of my 1187P.

The damage around the window like they tried to pry in before just breaking the window tells me it was likely some young punks rather than more experienced thieves. But If I caught them in the act they'd might be introduced to Mr. Sig Sauer, he's about 40 and would keep them there 'till the cops arrive.

There's really nothing that makes me as angry as a thief. They really did a number on your X all for a stupid deck. I'd get the prints lifted if I were you... there's a good chance they'll never find the criminals but if the chance exists I'd sure as hell try.

A few years ago I had one of my older cars, an '86 Volvo station wagon of all things, broken into. My modified '93 Supra parked right next to it (they didn't even breathe on the supra, probably because they know touching that car would be a death sentence). Anyway... I had about $500 worth of unopened computer parts sitting in the back seat directly under the window they broke to get into the car. The morons climbed OVER the boxes of brand new parts to get to the $40 cd player in the dash. Blows my mind how retarded thief types are.

I think by definition car thieves are morons. A buddy had an Audi with a factory stereo. They busted his lock only to get into the car to realize that it's next to impossible to remove without the proper tools, it's says "Audi Design" on it, it will only fit THAT model of Audi (probably not on their minds), so they emptied the glovebox and storage areas to find nothing to steal except for some maps and mints and went on their way. Successful heist!

It's the "Whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine too" mentality that makes me want to commit acts of horrendous violence for these types of offenses.

The cardboard I put in the broken window hole for a couple weeks read "my automatic weapons HATE thieves". Strangely, no car has been broken into at that particular property since.

What a freaking mess! There's probably no way you'll ever find out who did this - but it makes you wonder why someone would do something like that. That's going to cost you a few $$$'s in insurance deductibles, etc since they never cover the true expense of a damaged car. Good luck with your repair - she'll be like new again soon!

It's sad but it's true... tho for some reason my brain remembers having my fingerprints scanned when I renewed my license... come on technology, enter thyself into the DMV! Chances are the thieves have licenses themselves, yet most likely the fuzz will tell you "Good luck with that, sir!"
