Sorry to hear about this. This seems to be happening alot in the New York/New Jersey area. The theft should be covered by insurance.

Garden State Plaza...b/t 6-9pm

i've been parking there for yrs with no problems. but i heard a fews weeks ago (from a bmw site) a 3 series got broken into. Security guy alss says it's gotten worst lately. i parked indoors & will never again.

like i said b4, it was a clean job (thye knew EXACTLY how to take it out), pryed & pulled it right out (without opening the hood), wires were stripped with a wirestripper.

i would also blame it on a design flaw from Nissan. How could they have made it SO easy to take out?


haven't seen the headlights on Ebay yet.

only way to prevent this is NOT to buy from Ebay or privately.
it sells for $1,000 at CourtesyNissan.com
