That's messed up the same thing happened to me at my job
they broke my doorhandle and lock so I had to buy another one
then the bodyshop who installed it charged me labor to paint it
when I know they did not paint it's just the haters mad cause they cant ride in style like you so they try to get back at you by stealing your car but what you and the rest of the CL members should do is besides the aftermarket alarms is to buy the auto-
lock this thing really works and it comes with the steering wheel cover also
which is a major deterrent.....

As for the the steering wheel cover...that's not gonna stop anyone...if they really want the car....they'll flat bed it away...
Nothing you can really do but watch car like a HAWK.

Yeah I understand that. but my personal opinion is that if these creeps who are trying to steal our precious cars are the A-team
the professional car theives. then they would have stolen the car
the first time they tried I think it's some inexpierenced jerks who
probably need the car so they can sell it to buy a spaceship wing for their 89 honda civc with the mix match rims and the primer paint job

Damage due to theft of vandalism (no fault of yours) falls under comprehensive and will not jack up your rate and they cannot drop you.
If you get into an accident and its your fault, than you will pay for the deductible, plus premium increases in your insurance provider as you will be dropped a Tier Level.

My last company, Allstate, dropped me after I reported a $3000 vandalism claim when someone keyed my bimmer. Insurance premiums just increased in NY which is why I'm afraid of reporting it. Dealer quoted me 450 to fix each door. When the parts only cost less than 400 for both doors. I think I'm going to buy the parts and have a different key to open the door. I always use the remote anyways so I think it wont be to bad.

Hey gs2fst4u,
Where in NJ are you located?
I would be glad to help you switch those door locks and handles. I have done it before. We can also remove the old locks first and go to a local locksmith and let them rekey the locks so all the keys match providing the key pins are not too damaged....we'll let the locksmith evaluate that. I bet its much cheaper then letting the lexus dealer do that.
Let me know where your located in NJ. I would be more then happy to help out a fellow NJ CL member (screw you CA guys j/k).
Let me know.
