Went to see Cars yesterday night, the movie was great.. but when I got back to my car in the parking lot.. things weren't so great..
some @sshole had been very "bored" with a metal stand and smashed my windscreen and hood...

Ouch! I don't understand how or why someone would do something like that. Had something similar happen several years ago. Parked in an underground garage and came back a few hours later to find all 4 tyres had been slashed.

Looks like they smashed the roof also or is that just the lighting?

-B-
 
that sucks. I bet a windshied for one of those is going to be a hard one to get a hold of...
I feal bad for the idiot that goes around doing stupid stuff like that. he must be a total sorry a$$, with no life. Idiot.
 
Unfortunately it's not just the glass.. the hood got some big dents too by the weight of that metal sign..
Strangely enough I wasn't mad at all but rather sad.. I'm very proud of my FJ Cruiser but in the end it's just a car...My car though...:mad:
And yes, my main worry is to be able to get a new windscreen quickly.

Just make sure you take it to a really good body place. My mom's 4runner got gainked on the front fender. Its the best repair job I've ever seen. I could only find one place on the whole vehicle that had over spray, and it was a 1mm thick line that went for about 2cm, and it was in a totally hidden place. I think she went through the dealer to find the place. Insurance is great in situations like this, but I'm willing to bet that becuase its new (as long as you don't have to replace the hood), that the windshield is going to be more pricey than the actuall dent repair....
 
I'm sorry about your Fj, Man that sucks, some random hate crime againts toyota maybe? or a jealous act? who knows..anyway my winshield was damaged too not in a similar fasion just flying rocks enough to crak the winshield in several places, and chip the paint in several places..took it to an estimater total damage cost $6000 been waiting for parts and paint to come in for awhile now..need windshield, hood front bumbers and among other things, anyway I'm pretty bumb about it..

Find out if there is a camera system in the garage...you never know if it was caught on tape or not.

x2. that really sucks. sorry, i wish people like that get caught and thrown in jail for being such and idiot.
 
Unfortunately there was no video surveillance ..

Just cleaned the car inside and out.. The windscreen obviously needs to be replaced, the hood has only some light scratches but 2 rather deep dents...
Getting the fine pieces of glass from the dashboard was a nightmare..

Called Toyota ... My dealer had already replaced one windscreen and told me it would take a week or so.. let hope that's correct.
 
Somebody was jealous. Sorry about your ride. Jealousy sucks, I've seen my share of it having owned some nice vehicles myself.

:frown:
 
sierra club for sure!!!
 
Some A$$ hat is always out there waiting to bang up something nice. That sucks ! Hopefully you will get it fixed up and back on the road. Its still a great looking truck.
 
That sucks what an a#@hole! That's why I hate leaving mine in parking lots and garages but I have to sometimes. I just got back from seeing that movie (Cars) the comment the H2 made about never being offroad before was pretty funny.
