Last car I owned in SF somebody broke a window and rifled through the inside. I didn't fix it, except to tape some plastic over the broken window. Shortly later, somebody broke another window (instead of just ripping off the tape, WTF!). Eventually sold the car and had to replace the windows, costing about $1000.

Similar here. Both back side windows. Fortunately they were on hinges and could be cracked open so I was able to get used ones at a junkyard for $60 each and replace them myself. Then the rear window got smashed in. $200 at the junkyard for that one and a lot harder to DIY. Then the trunk got jimmied, breaking the lock. I can't remember what that costed to fix, I had to have it keyed by the dealer, I think it was fairly expensive. Stolen radio (value approximately $300) I didn't replace. Stolen technical manuals and books (maybe $300 as well) I replaced some. I doubt they were able to even sell those.

It's one of many reasons I moved away from there and do not entertain any job offers from that region, regardless of how much they are offering. At a certain point one needs to write off these cities. That or accept being a victim with no legal recourse knowing your car's going to be vandalized damaged and stolen on a regular basis and you are going to be hassled by guys with guns when walking down the street.
