I leave my apartment for work this morning and my entire rear window is in shards on my back seat. Probably going to be at least $500 to replace. Fuck you, you fucking son of a bitch. ---

Don’t worry. It was probably just a prank. Wait it out. Maybe they’ll replace it. ---

Also quit being a drama queen. I replaced my windshield for 150. Your insurance will cover everything over 100. ---

Also find out if there was a lawn crew there that morning. I had my window destroyed from a flying rock. The crew went to the management and informed them. Management later got ahold of me to let me know. The company paid for the replacement. Maybe your office hasn’t had a chance to talk to you yet. ---

The police told my sister that she probably didn’t notice that it happened at work and drove home with the rear window shattered and glass all over her seats. Apparently somebody breaking it while parked at home was inconceivable to that cop. Wait he didn’t want to file a report either. She told the insurance company the police response and the agent called them up to chew them out for not taking a report because it probably happened somewhere else. ---

I was at a bar one night. A really rough joint. A really rough late-night joint. We’re all having a good time when some guy comes running in saying there’s a crazy guy on the roof with a bat yelling “come on, muthafuckahs!” I go outside to check it out, and I notice that nearly every car in the lot had a smashed windshield…_including my dad’s car._ I drove it home and had to explain to my dad about the lovely place I was at, the lovely gentleman who rearranged the windshield for him, and such. I believe we just had to cover the deductible. It still sucked the big one. ---

And I don’t have comprehensive coverage (not worth it for a 1994 Dodge Dakota.) I recently replaced my windshield for nearly two bills out-of-pocket and believe me, that hurt. I feel for you, **Otto**. ---

Glass coverage is a buck a month for me. Well worth it. Everyone reading this thread may want to call and see if they can add it. ---

Ouch. See [my thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=413053&highlight=glass) on the same issue in spring 2007. The first few glass repair places I called wanted $700-800 just for the replacement glass. I eventually got mine fixed by calling junkyards. It took me a while to find one that was cheap; finally found one in Maryland (I live in Virginia) that sold me a used-but-good rear windshield for $75 and installed it for another $75. The only other cost was taking leave time to drive over there during business hours. Still it beat the heck out of $800 just for glass. Good luck! Sailboat ---

[/QUOTE] I’ve done a little bit of poking around online and I’m getting quotes in the $300-$350 range, which as near as I can tell includes installation. But it may be more because of the defogger, which I refuse to be without in Wisconsin. ---

[QUOTE=Otto] Fuck you. I have the right to be pissed off when someone vandalizes my property. [/QUOTE] Did you witness the act? Assuming that you didn’t, you’re merely presuming that the broken windshield was the result of vandalism, and not a passing vehicle kicking up a stone, or some other event which was free of malicious intent. ---
