This would be one of the reasons I took ALL the trim off my truck, to make it harder for those rats out there to be certain just what they are stealing.

Fortunately, (if it's just the mirror) most large parts stores carry inexpensive replacements. It's a very common breakage item.

Something like that may be covered by your insurance, might be worth checking into.

I called my insurance, and they don't cover it. I called a few places and none really had an exact copy but a dealer. The dealer has it for 272.43$!! Then like 80 for installation! After tax its gonna be around 400. That's so ridiculous. I'm still pissed. Its so hard for me to drive also with out it.

Whoever is was probably saw you enter the gym. Anybody got an 08 who's leaving as you're arriving? Anyone work near the gym who's parked nearby with an 08? Also, check with your dealer, some parts are laser-etched with the VIN at the factory to discourage theft.

My guess would be if they destroyed their mirror, they may have also sideswiped their truck,or have other body damage; If you see a crumpled 08 with a sparkly-new mirror, fishy-fishy.

I got it fixed. It cost 435.50!! All to replace a damn mirror! Can you believe it? I was cooled down for a little but it kinda got me upset to find out the cost of it. Sucks that people have to go steal something from someone because theyre too damn lazy to pay for it themselves.

I feel for you man. I had the same issue time and time at my house. They were hitting my car right in my own driveway. I had to park my ride outside because I made my garage a game room for the kids. Finally I bought a covert camera and mounted it right above my car and I caught those punks. I hate people who steal. If you are interested in the camera I bought here it is! http://www.cablegiant.com/Default.as...Product_id=424
