I'm sorry to hear that man....really am. I'm a victim of vandalism with a brick to my windshield...your case is twice as bad! Also I'm an IL resident...sad to hear. Bastards, I really hope karma gets to them!

My dash was Fawked up too and parts of my dash had to be replaced for $1,000. Insurance covered it though.

Pick a Fro...it wasnt a stock head unit...but i was referring to the stock cuz it costs soo much...the guy at the dealership told me u might as well ask them for stock cuz its soo much...but the one i had in there was JVC with like 30 second video clip on the screen...pix below...well u cant really see in the pics but the dash like scuffed...he was prolly wearing those hard heeled shoes cuz gym shoes wont do sumthin like that...and DjDuckyi its a clean removal cus the install was clean too...but now im thinking bout getting an alarm system for the car...ill prolly invest bout 600 in it...so any suggestions???...and greg i dun really trust rays installation...but the stuff is pretty cheap.

Man, that is terrible. It looks like you are probably going to have to make an insurance claim because of all the damage and high cost of replacement. Were your doors unlocked or did they break a window? I would get the loudest car alarm I could get lol. I always remove my faceplate and radar detector from my car even if I park for 10 mins. People around here in Detroit got stealing car stereo's down to a science. lol. Try to look at a junkyard for the parts first before you make a claim. When you make a claim on insurance, your monthly rate is likely to go up. =(
