Well, I have been quiet but monitoring the board all along. Anyway, my Hummer got vandalized early Monday morning. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif Went out at 6:15AM to go to work and there was glass all around the rear end. They got the back glass and left rear (fixed). The force of the implosion pitted the glass on the right side and the right rear door window. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif Four windows had to be replaced. Still waiting for the replacements for the pitted ones. I am not a happy camper as I am wondering if they will return after it is fixed. Then there is the deductible issue of $500.00. Thank goodness it was not any worse if that is the bright side. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

If items were stolen then it was done by a common criminal..
If nothing was taken just the vandalism..then I bet it was one of those enviromentlist nuts that did it..

I feel sorry for the pathetic loser that did this to your truck. It just happens that the "can't haves" don't likes those that do have and feel a need to raise insurance rates for all of us. Pretty lame http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

At least it was glass that is easy to replace (but not cheap). My driver rear quarter window was replaced for just under 1k. Don't ask me why it was so much but 2 dealers gave me the same quote. No, I didn't pay for it but the car wash that destroyed it did.

Good Luck!

Don't know what they used to break the glass. No debris or rocks found inside. Nothing taken at all. This was vandalism. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif A friend of mine lives up the street a few houses and has a white H2 parked out front. They apparently tried to hit it Monday night. I discovered mine that morning. A neighbor heard some knocking outside and saw that two guys were around her H2 and came out. They took off in an old car. Fortunate they were discovered before they could do any damage. These "ELF" people or wannabe's are a misguided, sick bunch of radicals. They sure better hope we never cross paths. That is all that I have to say on the subject but watch your back or H2 I should say. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Dan:

Suggest you talk to your insurance agent about changing your comprehensive deductable to $50, the increase in premium is usually only $8 to $15 per 6 month period. There is no benefit to keep a high $500 deductable on your comprehesive coverage. A good insurance agent should've offered/suggested you the change.

Good idea. Thanks for the input. Plan to check it out tomorrow. I have my coverage with the Auto Club. We'll see. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by MAC:

Glockman....where the heck have you been???? You are a complete no-show for any and all events. Dude!!!!???

Had you been more active in events, I'd have thrown you a support rally just like we did the dealer....instead you'll have to settle for being heckled over the internet. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Sorry to hear about your windows. Now I feel I got-off easy with just being keyed on one door panel myself. You know what's really pathetic...these fools don't realize:

1) Just about EVERY full-sized pick-up truck made by Dodge, Ford or Chevy has a V8 and gets about the same of less mileage as the H2. My buddies Avalanche gets about 9 mpg! why not attack all the other vehicles too?

2) We all have insurance, in the end....all their vandalism does is raise the overall cost of insurance for everybody...and who gets hurt the most....the little guy who is just on the margin...which is likely themselves! So the little guy gets hurt by not having insurance of just drives un-insured as we all lose further!

I can't believe it has come to this! Why can't these losers be content to just sit at home and melt in front of television watching their MTV?

Glockman, when my window was replaced the tech used a pen-sized tool that he placed in the center of the window and simply pushed the button on top (just like a pen). A little piece of metal shoots out and then retracts shattering the window with a very dull thud (no noise). He said this was a very popular tool among auto content ie. radios, cd's etc thieves. The tool is actually part of a snap-on tool kit used to mark engines.

Sorry to hear that about your hummer. The tool they used is a center punch. I cant believe that's happening in Simi Valley. The crime rate is purdy low. I changed what city I lived in on my profile. You never know if the Idiots are looking on our site. I even raised my insurance to cover all my mods I have done just in case they find mine. But believe me , my arsenal is Locked and Loaded,with night vision.

Glockman, I'm pissed that this happened to you. Get it fixed and move on and hopefully it won't happen again.

High,
What are u worried about, they can't reach your windows w/o a ladder http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif
My wife is afraid to drive the H2 in town when she subs in the city schools (they keyed her Tahoe) so she wants to drive my truck and let me drive the H2.

Chris: "BTW MAC where have you been?"

Chris, Didn't get a chance to visit forum and saw your question until now.
We went on last of summer family vacation, as many parents do before the schools started. Then business travels, work piled up upon returned, elevated/increased business/professional activities and responsibilities, took over control of something big, schools started, meetings, parties, Bar Mitzvah and visitors, all in all, just lost the free time and attachment to the forum. I still visit H2 forum briefly every few days, but need to emotionally reconnect to make posts here.

But, I'll be back. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

you may have been hit by a garden variety booger who may have been inspired by the ELF Aholes. we get boogers breaking windows on cars/trucks in the street at night every now and then. I would have expected spray painted slogans if it were ELF or PETA or Earth First!
I am just glad I did not see it as it happened [not sure I could do the time after I explained the error of their ways to them]
