Lesson learned

Don't park your car in a bad neighborhood. It was in the center of the town in the afternoon. I didn't know it was a bad town until it happened...

Cardinal rule #1... never leave things out in the open in your car, even in the day!

Addicts or greedy teens will smash your window in a sec.

Sorry this happened as it is a pain to get the window replaced. I constantly have to remind myself to remove my Valentine One from my visor and hide it whenever I park my car even in the "safe" areas. Many of these petty crimes are ones of opportunity and I don't need to give the would be thieves a reason to do a smash and grab.

Hope nothing was stolen.

It was in new haven CT. A bag with all my traveling stuff was stolen. The real pain is to replenish everything plus to get the window repaired. :-(

I'm not much of an East Coast guy; my presumpt is that New Haven, CT is a pretty nice place. Of course, these are different times, e.g. income disparity. Good luck with the replacement and repair.
