you are aware progressive is an insurance company and doesn't actually work on it so they cant exactly ruin anything. OP just a reminder, take it to a progressive approved shop that way if anything else is wrong and its not to your standards or goes bad again they have a lifetime warranty on all work done by their approved shops so it will be fixed again/to your standards at no price to you

Good news, Brian the owner of Tobz performance tuning hooked me up with a set of almost new Enkei RPF1's and tires for a really good price. All in all even with my deductible I should come out on top. Maybe I can get a JDM rear bumper out of this.
Thanks for the well wishes everyone, I don't think there is any other damage to the car besides my window which should be easy and cheap to replace.
Thanks for the info. I actually used Tobz performance tuning for a minor accident I had and they still honor the lifetime warranty. I called Progressive out for some minor paint issues months later that I wasn't happy with and they cut me a check.

sorry to hear about that, couldn't have been a del sol owner, considering they come stock with a 4 lug pattern and their lug 4X114 if im correct. because i do have one
i know, i know they could have done a 5 lug conversion but thats not actually a cheap mod to do either
good luck with finding out who took them. please keep us updated

To the OP, that is f'ing BS dude! Like my buddy said, same exact thing happened to me! Same car and everything except I had some Advan RS with star spec tires. I worked a long time to buy those and bastards jacked them w/o a thought. I feel your pain on a personal level! They didn't smash my window but tried to pry it open, luckily my wind deflectors were too hard to get by. This really pisses me off to see people with such pride in there car and all the care they go through to keep it nice get taken advantage of. All I can say is I believe in karma and these peeps have heaps of the bad kind headed their way! Glad to see it will work out for you in the long run and don't let this discourage you from enjoying your hobby. Stay upbeat man!

Before you go and pay for an alarm, I'd be all over whoever manages the property to install cameras all around that place. That sucks though. I'd be more concerned about the rpf1s now though to be honest.

I told them about it but they just said they were sorry it happened. We have security that drives around but I think it's more to check if people have parking passes to park in the parking garage. I told my girlfriend that if they didn't have any single car garages open I was moving back home until her lease was up with all seriousness. I can just see this happening again, I mean what's stopping them?

It's a terrible feeling having your car messed with but feels even worse when there is not much you can do to prevent it from happening again. Best of luck though and if they do nothing to help deter these type of things def get out of there asap. Also FYI, those stock BBS you had taken are pretty sought after. I'd check craigslist and other local forums to see if they pop up for sale.
