First, I'll start with something nice.. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
Well, I'm a senior in High School who drives a silver 95 Galant. Nothing really special. Installed a CD player for my birthday about 7 months ago. Had my windows tinted 20% about 2 months. Some other things in there, but nothing noteworthy.
My school day ends at 3:05PM and the student parking lot is located to the side (behind) the school. The side rear window was broken and used to break into my car. My dashboard has been completely ripped apart and my CD player has been stolen. A nice collection of CDs were stolen too, but I'm not worried since they were all burned and not paid for. These guys either didn't know what the hell they were doing or were in a serious rush. Somehow they managed to crack the panel around the shift and knock my car into Reverse while the car was still off. This has completely fucked my ignition since the switch in park is no longer being reached. The only way to remove my key from the ignition is to stick an object down under this panel to hit the switch.
My school is located in the middle of Baltimore City...I know crappy place...so the chances of someone from a local neighborhood doing this is very likely.
I doubt it was anyone at my school due to the simple reason that my car has pretty much NO value in comparison some of my friends who I've already warned. What did school securtiy do? Pff...not a damn thing.We have no cameras. Officers weren't anywhere to be found when I went back into the school at about 3:15.
Damage done...
- Stolen CD Player =$100 ish..
- Broken Window + tint = $70ish...+ probably no more than 20 to redo 1 small window
- Ruined Dashboard = $no clue...Replacing the ENTIRE dash could run about $400, but it's only the area around the radia.
- Fixing Ignition = Dunno...
We were able to file 2 seperate claims to my insurance. 1 for the automobile and 1 for house insurance which covers my cd player. They will be coming to examine everything soon to see if they will pay for it all.
Until then it's back to riding to school with my Mommy
and hopefully a friend will give me a lift home.
I'll get some pics up tomorrow. I'm pretty mad, but I'm calming down now.

My window is being fixed this Saturday and I'm waiting for the piece for my ignition to arrive to fix it 
. I'm also going to call some junkyards and ask around for a replacement central console. All I need is the framing of it and a cup holder/container. I may have to replace some wires to reinstall my stock radio for now.
