Default Attempted Theft

So I come out of my office today and someone broke into my car. 2001 S4, punched through the door lock, and broke the ignition out.

The wheel was locked to the right so getting the car towed to 1.5 hrs to get it on the bed...real fun stuff.

Any idea on prices to get those repaired? I know the door probably needs to be replaced because its through the paint...thanks guys.

Do you have additional anti theft measures?

Unfortunately no. I do have Lojack, but that doesnt help until the car is stolen. How does the stock security system work?

Default Put it this way, and it's been said TIME and TIME agan on here...

If you are in NJ, and do not have after market security, you're ASKING for a stolen car.

I honestly can't believe your ride hasn't been stolen already. Stock security is a joke.

I have had the car for over 2 years and have never had a problem, all im asking is what prices range for repairing the damage.

Default Suck man. Sorry. Welcome to the club. Insurance $4k+ if they replace the door.

Might be less if they try to repair it, but it's a difficult spot.

I appreciate that, thank you...just sucks how many scummy people are out there. What alarm systems do you recommend?
