VIN etching is something you pay extra for, and is usually done after the car is purchased. New OEM glass has no etching, just like when the car came from the factory. Sorry I didn't make that clear earlier.

 

That sucks. That happened to mine about 3 months ago. Punks got away with my woofer and amp. Hehe mines also white.

 

umm that suck completely. yeah i would guess it was someone ____ed off at the world or something. probably was out with some of his friends and wanted to look cool. good thing is carma will get him one day.

 

I think someone I know who doesn't like me did it on purpose. I live in a very suburban area that no one comes to.

 

do some research. If you think you know, let the police know and they (if they are doing their job) could go talk to them and maybe the bat will turn up. Wood bat could have glass particles on it.

CSI!

 

only if they step foot in your house, and you dont shoot them in the back. If you do shoot them in your yard, better drag them into your house and claim they broke in, otherwise, its your bad.

 

you know u might as well go carbon fiber trunk while windows off
haha

wow, if i was you i would be sitting on my front porch with a loaded 45 and next time lil piles of crap came near tell them to get lost or you would help them, so pathetic my bug was keyed at college found the lil b**tard and broke his nose!!

 

I'm gonna find whoever did this and sue them big time.

 

My xB came with an etching in all the windows, its not the VIN# but its another number and a 1800 number to call, there is also a sticker in the driver and passenger window that says somthing like...

"this vehicle is equipped with security measures and is trackable by law inforcement agents"

Anyone else have this? or maybe it was just my dealer.

 

That's usually how it works. Some dealerships etch all the cars when they come on the lot, others wait until you purchase the service when in finance.

At the Acura dealership I worked at, they put it on all the cars when they dropped off the carriers. It takes about 5 min. per car, and doesn't really cost anything. This way if a buyer wanted it, it was already done.

I can't remember the exact benefit details, but it was something like $500-$1000 back if your car was ever stolen, and the cost was something like $200 upon purchase. Just having it also provides the deterrent effect, because a thief knows he won't be able to sell the glass.
