A Bad Beat in Life

I got out of work today only to find my car had been broken into and my GPS unit was stolen. I filed a police report to go with my insurance claim and it turns out there is a group of people (ring) doing this in Montgomery County and I was the 40+ victim. They didn't steal my SIRIUS radio, sunglasses, CD's, pocket change, or anything else in the car. They were just after my GPS. Here's how they did it.

They use a tiny piece of porcelain about the size of a bottle cap. Most pieces are broken off of used spark plugs. They stand just a foot away from the window, give the small piece of porcelain a little flick into the window and the tempered glass shatters quietly to the floor (amazing really).

The guy saw a suction cup on my window so he figured the GPS was in the glove department box (he was right), grabbed the car charger and was out. He wore white latex gloves (power prints on the car) and the porcelain piece laid on the ground. It doesn't feel as bad when you realize your a victim of an organized, what almost seems like professional,l theft but it still sucks non the less. Now I have to get a new passenger window and a GPS unit... of course I did not play poker last night. Just relaxed.
