So I walk out of my flat on Friday morning, ready to go to work.
I walk around to the passenger side of my car, and I notice a plastic bag by the door. It contained some greeting cards I bought the day before. I thought they may have fallen out the previous evening when I got home and got my bag out of the car.
Then I saw the small window on the rear passenger door, or at least what was left of that window.
My eyes then went to the dash -- that was pulled out forcefully, and saw the dangling wires where my stereo was.
That was a hell of a thing to wake up to.

I filed a police report, even though it's pretty much moot.
I called my insurance company -- thing is, I didn't get comprehensive since I wasn't working at the time I started the policy. So, no coverage. Bugger.
My landlord came out and looked at the damage, and later that day made the offer to have it fixed. All I would have to do is pay for the parts. (Her husband loves to tinker with things.) What could I say?
So they fixed the window and the dash the following day -- and replaced the stereo with a Bose radio they found in a car that was like mine. It's not top of the line, but at least I won't be bored while driving.

And they also made off with my huge bag of Life Savers... that's the one thing I'm laughing at with this whole deal.

At least no one was hurt, and everything's getting replaced. All I have to replace is the power strip that plugs into the ciggie lighter, my mobile phone charger, and the CD player car kit. All in all, it could have been worse.

In retrospect... I don't think they got the Lifesavers...

I might have stuck them in my backpack when taking a few things out of the car before letting my landlord have at it...
