UPDATE: The unimaginable has happened!!!
Early this morning i was rudely awakened by my roommate to find out that there are 3 police cars by my car. I get up to find out how my car rolled into the middle of the street, and i find that my car has been broken into. I give the officers my information, and go to look into my car. When i stepped through the glass all i could see was a destroyed car. My DVD player was taken out, and my cd reciever was taken also. The dvd player was in the same place the ashtray was, therefore the gear shifter had to be put into neutral, which it forcefully was, and my car rolled back into the middle of the street. My radar detector was stolen along with the DVD player and the CD Reciever. Thankfully my navigation wasn't broken, although they ran into the rear of my car pulling away, chipping the paint, and dented the black frame around the window right beneath the chrome stipping around the window. The factory wood around the center console was dented on the inside area by the ashtray, my headliner was torn slightly and my shifter **** (on the leather) was destroyed). My car seemed to drive fine even though they yanked it from park to neutral, but i am going to have that checked out. That's all i can remember being messed up off the top of my head, but i have a list of 11 things that were messed up and/or stolen from the car.
Thankfully, they didn't take the monitors out of my headrests or visors (although they wouldn't have been hard to get) and they even stole a bottle of CK cologne! WTF! Anyway, thought i would vent. Will have pics of the car soon, hopefully i will be able to upload.

BlueLex: No, unfortunately there are no cameras around. They fingerprinted but found nothing. Thinking of getting the camera in the trunk lid. I have AAA as my insurance, so hopefully they will take care of the items stolen and the stuff messed up.
LexusonDubs: I hate thieves also. Just haters!!!! Since they can't have anything nice on their own, they decied to take someone elses nice stuff!
If nothing else, maybe my insurance will cut me a fat *** check and i can do a few more mods i wanted to do! That's just looking on the bright side. But, i'm not gonna go the ghetto route and drive with the plastic in the window, so i got it parked right now at my girls house, till i get the glass fixed. Also, looking to get another alarm, one that shows the car on the remote for your keychain, and shows the damage and where it's at.

When I was 15, my bike was stolen when I went to the store. I was pissed off for a few days, considering that was my main source of transportation. I can't even begin to imagine the horrible feeling you got when you found your car laying in the middle of the street like that. Hopefully, those asshats will caught in the act and the owner wont hesitate to end their pathetic lives.

Sorry to read about this John. When my LS was broken into, they paid for the damage to the wood, cuts in the seat with the leather, glass, etc but didn't covert the stolen radar detector which sucked.
