I can feel your pain, about five years ago I came out one morning to find 5 of my Crown Vics looking the same way, in addition they stole the batteries and cut the wire harnesses to the alternators but could not get the alternators off. One car they even stole the trunk lid and I found it on the road about a mile away, and of course it had been run over by a truck and was scrap. The locals never did find or catch anyone. Took me weeks to get everything back in shape.

My wife and I bought one of he surveillance cameras sets from Costco. We have one of the little "eye in the sky" domes hanging from the front corner of our house. Great deterrent.

if no valuables were left inside-nothing taken, looks like someone was trying to get in to steal it, glass shattered. vandals would have just smashed the window(s) kicked & moved on. Id take steps to immobize it, ( remove battery etc), they may be back.

they can have all the fun they want it has a built in kill switch in the alarm they cant start it

That really sucks. Another theft deterant that was put there by Ford, you could alway pop that button in the trunk that powers the fuel pump! I'm sure that is not quite why Ford put it there. But it works! :-)
