Default That sucks...

I gave up on radar detectors many years ago. The age when Radar detectors were "hot" on the market. I would hear everyday how people would find the window smashed for a $200.00 radar. I never got one just for that reason.
What did they brake..>Window/lock? where at?

Default neither.....

the cop said they musta used a 'slim jim' its that metal thing the cops use to open up doors for people whove locked themselves out of their car... there was no damage that i can see- thank god... but im just scared that if they can get in that easily- whats gonna stop them from coming back and taking the car? ya kno? damn... well anyway- ya i doubt im gettin a new radar detector

Default Hmm....I don't think our cars can be opened by a slim jim

U sure u had the car locked??
How's the weather striping by the edge on the door/glass look?...does it look stretced?
Does your car lock unlock with the key...door handle from the inside work properly?

This is a first with the slimjim

Default i can open almost any car with a slim jim including Audi's and VW's, airbags in the doors is the

only thing i look out for because it can fire the slim jim out like a missle if deployed.
