Some ___hole decided to have themself a merry Christmas on my expense....
It was 2am of the 27th, after attending to my friend's Christmas/bday party I returned to my car and noticed that they broke the passenger side window and stole my stereo along with some other items. On top of that, they damaged the paint on my dash! It took many man hours and hard work!
I'm going through insurance of getting the HU replaced. I hope there's a special place in hell for these people. Better yet, I hope this person suffers during their life.
Had to vent and I'm hoping you guys are having a better Christmas than I am. Anyways....here's a few before and after pics.
Before...Eclipse AVN5510
After....Empty

That sucks. Notice in the picture with the other guys radio that got stolen how the tint held the glass together. Radios in Scions are pretty easy to take out.
Which is why I tell people before spending $1000 on stereo equipment spend $500 on a quality 2-way security system.

Anytime you buy a DEI alarm system from an online retailer that isn't an authorized DEI outlet, you lose your warranty not to mention unless you do the install yourself and take in a DEI alarm to an authorized outlet you will get raped on installation.

I'm definitely going to get an alarm system after getting my HU replaced. Looking for the pager ones but nothing too expensive since I'm unemployed.
As far as the dash goes, I think the body shop ordered a new one since the current one is slightly damaged. So I'm gonna have to redo my dash.

Damn, that's awful dude 
! I'm begining to think it's a mistake to install a nav system in the dash. Maybe one of those portable ones are safer. Thinking of security -- the Scion system has a glass breakage detector and would definitely have fired up when the window was hit (even if it didn't break on the first impact).
