faith in humanity restored

That sound Logic to you?? • Why would they smash your windows if your doors were open • There are no cars today that allow you to manually re-lock your car from the inside when once you open the door it unlocks automatically • How did they get the car keys if they used the remote to lock it back up? • If they did have the keys, **** it, steal the car too! So in case it happened, you deserved it - even if I think re-locking the car was bullshit!

Maybe they went in through the window instead of opening the doors

if they smashed the window, they never unlocked them to begin with.

it's the thought that counts

Sorry to say it but this is kinda your fault. Next time don't leave a thing in the car where it can be seen. I mean hide everything in the trunk, because the thief might find something interesting and that thing is worth 5$ and the smashed window 100$.

@76, side windows of cars are tempered so that they aren't sharp after breaking, it's a mandatory safety feature on all modern cars.

I feel your pain OP. This happened to me in college. But never leave stuff like that in your car especially where someone can see it. I did that so I totally deserved it, and unfortunately, so do you. :-(

it was probably a habit with him/her locking the door but valuables shouldn't be placed in a vehicle.

Call the police and see if they can recover DNA from the car locks.
