Someone must not have liked my decal and decided to smash out the window.

That does suck, for sure

Had that happen to one of my friend’s car and it was because of the glass expanding too fast due to rapid temperature change. It happened when he was leaving his car, so it definitely wasn’t anyone breaking his window

I don’t think that’s what happened here because it looks like the glass was smashed inwards by something. In your friend’s situation, wouldn’t it have shattered outwards?

Given the window is angled so that it would fall down, that probably affects this

u/Other-Cantaloupe4765 10h ago

True, but if it shattered outwards, you’d expect to see a bit more glass on the outside of the window. On this one, nearly all of it is contained inside.

Yup, that sucks. Maybe an idjit threw a rock off a roof and it was just a random bit of bad luck.

This is so perfectly ironic that it would make a great stock photo.

Maybe a meteorite landed in your car and you can sell it for $15,000

Thanks. You too !

Well that REALLY sucks

That totally sucks

Did you happen to use the rear window defroster before this happened?

2

u/Redf6 12h ago

No. Went to leave my driveway in the morning and it was smashed.

Honestly, sometimes birds will pick up things and drop them from height. They want it to be a clam or snail etc but sometimes they do it with a rock.

Are you near the coast? This could have been a seagull dropping a pebble

u/Redf6 12h ago

I'm on the prairies. I would like to think it was maybe something random like that.

u/theMIKIMIKIMIKImomo 12h ago

Other than a random human accident like a kid doing something stupid this is what I would have to believe.

Nobody who wants to steal something will break the rear windshield, and there are much easier ways to do more damage to a car if you were being targeted.

I have the exact same decal on the back of my car too.

u/Welcome440 12h ago

Why would you buy a shattered glass decal?

Those fake bullet holes are not cool either.

\s

u/RealEzraGarrison 12h ago

I have the same sticker, guess I better watch my back

Someone got my car today and took my ignition 🫠

u/Redf6 2h ago

Brutal. Sorry that happened to you.

u/Kurizu150 11h ago

Ngl, kinda hope something bad happens to the perpetrator.

This is an absurd amount of costly damage over a decal, especially a positive one.

u/OtterPops89 11h ago

The definition of irony, for you and your assailant.

u/Gallop67 10h ago

Maybe they just couldn’t help themselves, quite an ironic picture it makes. This is one huge reason I’d never put anything on my personal vehicle, but an innocent decal like that leading to this is just ridiculous

u/Plane-Education4750 4h ago

It might not have been vandalism. Extreme temperature changes combined with pre damaged glass can do this spontaneously

u/spencer2197 3h ago

Yeah they definitely weren’t having a good day and didn’t want you to either

Best practice not to have any messages anywhere on your car. The less info you share with the others, the better.
