My car was broken into!
I hadn't used my car since Friday evening, so I wanted to start up the motor to keep it running. When I got closer to it, I saw the driver's door was open, which puzzled me. When I went up to the door, I saw the glove box was open & stuff was thrown all over the 2 front seats. This alarmed me, so I walked around the car & found the corner of my back windshield pried up, the front door on that side open too & the back passenger side window smashed out. There's glass everywhere!
I came back in & immediately called the police, who came quickly & discovered that the dashboard had also been pried apart by the steering wheel. He said that it showed their ineptness, since it was the wrong place to hot-wire a car. He thinks they were trying to steal it.
Nothing was taken, not even the radio. It's just messy from everything being thrown around. They even went through the little trashbag I have. Napkins & tic-tacs(mints) are all over, along with the glass.
Since the motor started, I think it hadn't been done too many days before, because the 2 open doors would've surely run the battery down, wouldn't it? I'm glad there wasn't more damage & that no one was hurt.
I've spent hours on the phone with insurance people going through the rigmarole. The replacement glass had to be specially ordered from Chicago because my car is an '86. The adjuster is supposed to be here by Tuesday to check all the damage. I taped a plastic bag over the smashed window today because the glass people can just glue the molding back in place to fit the window in. This is all costing money I don't have & will be paying my mom back for. I have a $250 deductible, so it's a lot before the policy kicks in.
The whole situation could've been worse, but it's still a lot of stuff to go through just because some stupid jerks were bored.
