Just a friendly piece of advice tonight: if you happen to have a GPS unit, never ever leave it in the car. And I don't just mean take the GPS with you; take also the plastic holder that is attached to your windshield. Otherwise someone might still break into your car, just to have a look around and see if the GPS happens to be in there somewhere.:/
Yes, this is what happened to me last weekend. My GPS was safe at home, but I still had to pay well over a hundred bucks to replace the broken window (my insurance wouldn't cover it, because the cost was lower than my deductible).
These are the joys of living in the city, in an area where you have to park on the street. Yes, I want a nice suburban condo with a guarded parking lot for residents. Not that I needed much more convincing on the matter - but if I did, this timely incident just might work. *sarcastic smirk*

I'm so sorry. It feels so bad when someone breaks in and touches your stuff, but when you've also got to pay money for it, it must be just terrible!!! :(
Bigs hugs <3

I didn't really care much about someone touching my stuff, since I don't keep anything personal in the car (unless you count my audio tapes, which apparently were of no interest to the potential thief) - but it was a bloody nuisance. First, I had to drive to work with an open window in the cold; then I had to search online for companies who replace car windows, compare prices, make phone calls etc. I didn't need all that crap - let alone having to pay for it.:(
But I learned my lesson. Namely, even an old piece of junk like my car can be a target for burglars if I let them think there might be something valuable in it.:/
