Sorry to see this happen to you also man. My visors were stolen last tuesday in front of my house in Garden Grove. they also took the black pearl emblems I had. They got all the visors except for the drivers door, they cracked it in the process of ripping it off.

wow...just wow. Makes me think twice about where I park my car...but I do have a viper alarm..still not safe tho -_-" thieves are sneaky. I actually caught someone trying to steal my wheels..I ran out when i heard my alarm went off and saw that there was a jack under my car..i guess they couldnt jack it up cuz my alarm would go off when the car moves..

I am very sorry to see this, I have experienced vandalism as well in which it cost me a lot to get my car back to normal. The perpetrators used a screw driver to break the window frame and ripped the weather stripping and then stole everything they could.\

An idea is to purchase a cheap DVR camera, my friend has one the size of a pen. They have internal memory and can record in the needed intervals. This way you can catch who has done the damage and see what else happens to your car when it is parked on the street.

Good luck and I do not believe that it has anything to do with having a GS

It sucks but it's time to move onto something else. LS430/3GS perhaps?
i been looking at the ls430/ls460 for bout a year now
