Car Alarm

Late for work, I walked out of my apartment this morning only to behold a spectacle before my eyes. My rear passenger side car window was broken and glass was all over the place.

From what I can piece together, apparently someone tried to break into my car last night to see what kind of goodies I had inside. However, when they reached around to unlock the door from the inside, the car alarm must have gone off and scared them away.

I still have to call the cops and report it. Then I'll have to deal with all the pain of getting the actual window replaced. ugh.

  1. Dude! I’m sorry about that. Will your insurance cover it?

  2. I’m not sure.. still have to find out all the details

  3. Ok. Yup, the insurance company is supposed to replace the window tomorrow. It’ll cost $50 (the comprehensive deductible), but that’s all. Oh well.

    I went ahead and cleaned up all the broken glass and got it all vacuumed up so now my car looks normal again. Except for the missing window, of course.

  4. Does your apartment have a gated parking area, or is it all open like the Hunington was? That’s a really sucky Christmas present! Speaking of which, are you going to come to the Christmas weekend thing that Harmon and Hope are doing?

  5. Yeah it’s gated… And my parking spot is right next to the gate… and is one of the few parking spots with a fluerescent light directly above it. Because it’s near the gate, it’s relatively high traffic, so I’m guessing that helped the situation. Probably the alarm went off and a car was coming into the gate so the vandal ran off.

    I already got the window replaced and everything but I still have to get it re-tinted so it matches the rest of the car.

    And yup, I’m planning on hanging out with y’all when I come to dallas.

  6. when are you coming to dallas

  7. I’ll be in dallas from the 21st till the 28th

  8. Well thats good everything worked out. :) I’ll probably see you when you come to Dallas… Cody will want to anyway.
