Buying glass on eBay is risky. Check out car-part.com for salvage yards in your area. They are going for $100 around me.

This. I have used car-part many times with great luck finding parts (Truck side mirrors come to mind ).

Sorry this happened to you OP. My work truck was the victim of a smash and grab a few years ago when I used to have to park on the street. It sucks.

For your Taco I’d recommend adding a locking center console. I have one and like being able to lock things in there when I or my girl need to. I think the one I have was made by ‘Locker Down’ in Texas. It was less than $300 and only took me 15 mins to install.

I used to believe that, but it seems like people just break in to see what they can find whether it's obvious or not. I've had multiple vehicles broken in to with nothing visible at all,no electronics, no cords, mounts etc. It's a real problem in Colorado Springs for whatever reason.

Ford has been putting laminated side glass in the trucks(and maybe other stuff) for a few years now. People still break in; they jam a pry bar in, fuck up your pillar and pry the window out...it's more work for them so maybe it deters the lazy shit heads but the determined ones will still get in, now not only do you have to get glass, but you have to go to the body shop too!....ask me how I know.

That sucks OP, at least they didn't get any thing of value. Like others said, insurance will be more pain than it's worth. File a police report though, they won't be able to do anything for you, but at least it's on record and if it becomes a problem area you will get some more patrols and at least that's a deterrent. Just curious, do you live on a dead end street or culdesac?

oof, sounds like it could've been much worse - sorry to hear about your ordeal too. I've already filed the police report... and no - I'm right in the middle of a 4 lane divided highway. Seems like I just parked in the wrong place at the wrong time.
