    My Windows were smashed last night......

    WARNING!!! Do not leave anything valuable in your car!!!!
    My car was parked for 4 years in an underground parking with fob access only with GPS attached to the dash, between last night and a couple hours ago someone smashed my windows to break into it, With tinted windows it is even harder to smash as u can see the attempts.....Why smash the rear....u cant open it from inside on a hatchback i do believe.....Brand new car year old if that and now i gotta replace the windows somehow....my underground parking has cameras but the date and time are wrong on the settings....waiting for police at this moment.

    Wow, seems like someone didn't like you or something. Smashing 3 windows? The rear is safety glass, so it won't shatter like the side windows will.

    The most expensive thing I keep in my car is probably my scangauge.

    Bummer!

    3 windows seems more like vandalism than theft.

    I once had a window smashed in similar circumstances: underground "secure" parking, and they stole a snowboard that was hidden under a blanket. The security cameras captured it but it was too grainy to be useful. Inside job -- the thief entered the garage from the the building, not from outside.

    I replaced the window myself from a junkyard (less expensive than getting my insurance involved). Unfortunately, that's probably not an option on a brand-new Micra.

    Keep us posted what happens with the police.

    I am still awaiting police they say too busy with other things and will come when they come. I found a price finally for them all and they got me $750 cash, down form $770 +tax so that is my only option and ya Nissan has to provide the glass. No aftermarket glass for 2015 car.

    Do you guys know if the car has a car alarm? I tried locking the doors and opening it inside out and no alarm goes off.

    Id say vandalism too. Man, that sucks. 3 windows. And that back one is gonna hurt because of the defroster grid.. I hope the cops find who did this to you.. Bychance would your insurance be cheaper? I know for mine, my comprehensive is 300 bones but that varies from company to company.

    Yes it does look more like vandalism because no need to bust all the windows to get access to the car.
