some punks shot out my rear window friday night

It's still in the car, but shattered in a million pieces, with nothing but the tint holding it in I guess. Looks like they did it with a pellet gun. Shot it 4 times. I get in my car to go to work Saturday morning, and I can't see $hit trying to back out. One shot penetrated completely, two others hit and cracked the glass pretty deep but didn't fully go through. The 4th shot hit the car just to the side of the window and made a small dent and chipped the paint off. I'm so ****ed, cuz I have basic full coverage pretty much, and a $750 deductible... I know, rediculous. Well, I called the glass doctor and they said for that window, it cost $599.49 plus tax. Guess who doesn't have $600 bucks laying around. If I did, my car would be faster than what it is. Has anyone else had to get that window replaced, and how much was it?

Yeah, this really sux, cuz I had just washed it, and it was nice and shiny and clean, and I was working on some custom painting on the inside... it's not gonna look good with a back window shattered though. I can't stand people who don't respect others property!

I know how you feel, I live around the same area and I just got my car keyed yesterday, a foot long in the rear quarter panel all the way to the metal. I wasn't too happy.

That's the kind of senseless sh** that pi$$es me off. Destroying someones investment, while they're not even there. I don't know how they think it's fun. Sorry to hear man.

ya, who the hell would key my car? i dont even know anyone that hates me so much that they would walk all the way over to my place in the middle of the night just to key my car. i make an extra effort to be a cool guy and treat everyone nice, regardless of race, sex, etc. Is this what people do these days to keep themselves entertained? it seems like a national pastime for our generation. So there's actually a guy out there that just walks around all day keying cars or slashing tires just for fun? Man, people are @ssholes. these are the same people you see at the bars that hit on your girlfriend in front of you or start a fight with some confused foreign exchange student. i should just leave a note on my car saying,"dear @sshole, if you are thinking of vandalizing my car simply because your bored, please knock on my door so i can give you money so you can buy yourself a six pack and a porno mag. then, instead of ripping me and my car, you can get drunk and fantasize about Anna Kournikova in the shower. thanks" Bastards!

Most insurance companies greatly reduce the deductible for vandalism, or remove it completely, especially in the case of broken windows.

File a report with the police, and call your insurance company.

I had someone hit my car in a parking lot, and they waived my deductible completely (was $500). My insurance is USAA. They were so cool they didn't even want to come out and look at the car or see pics....

I remember my car got keyed two months after I bought it. When I saw it I wanted to cry. Sorry to hear what happened to you.
