Default I got jacked for a VISOR?!

So I go to the mall 2 days ago to buy my best friend a nice watch from Nordies for his 25th bday. I spent about 45 minutes, come out and leave. I go across the street to the bank and notice my back driver's side visor is missing?! WHO FREAKING DOES THAT!!! And no I did not park too close to anyone (no door dings) and they just took one. Thank god I bought the AVS not JDM ones, but I am still pissed.

On a good note, I ordered new ones from amazon for $95, changed my plugs/brakes/oil/all filters today, and did my NAV HACK. For those of you who figured out which wires to cut and ground, and which switch to buy THANK YOU.

A few months ago, my window was smashed and the underlying door frame bent for a $100 textbook called foundations of cellular neurophysiology, and 50 cents worth of loose leaf paper.

$2200 in damages (of which I had to pay a $1000 deductible out of pocket) for a $100 textbook that the criminals won't be able to sell (trust me, nobody wants it) or read.

They did leave my $200 sunglasses in my cupholder, though.

why the F*** would someone do that. thats just stupid. maybe someone jacked his, thats why he needs a driver side one back? what an idiot though. i can see if its a honda or some cheaper car because alot of punk kids drive those but lexus owners dont need to do this to one another....

yah its the new exchange program we have here in Cali. Hopefully one day you will get back the one that was stolen from you. =)

I have a roof spoiler and I am afraid one day its going to happen to me. I am also considering getting the window visors, but now after seeing how everyone is getting jacked. oh boy... tough decision. maybe someone will come up with a way to weld the visors on to our cars.

You could probably use a really strong epoxy, but that would just mean the thieves would destroy the trim on your car as they rip it off.

That totally sux...

It sounded like you were parked near a bank. Perhaps, they have some survellance camera on the perimeter. You might want to check if they might have filmed the idiot that did it.

Are the AVS visors the stick on type? If so, maybe it flew off? Just a thought
