Parked in a high school parking lot on Saturday. City track meet going on. My wife gets back to the car to find the driver's side window smashed on the '04 mini and she is missing her book bag and other items totalling around $1k (iPod, cell phone, etc.).
I drive down there and find out they tried prying out the passanger window and in doing so cracked the windshield pillar garnish. Glass all over the inside of the car.
Cops arrive 1-1/2 hours later and dust for prints. Meanwhile someone notices a 240 Volvo the next aisle over has also been been broken into with the rear window busted. It was a student's car and her purse and iPod are also gone.
Some of our stuff is found about 12 miles away in some bushes 2 days later. Cops really not that interested.
Total cost for repairs to the mini : $515.08 + the cost of a new phone. Stupid fools evidently didn't know how to open the glove compartment where a digital camera was stored.
