I have had my Tesla for two years, never any problems. I've parked it all over the Bay Area and never had anything happen to it. 10 days ago, the car was broken into near the Bay Bridge/Embarcadero/SOMA. Little window smashed, big window smashes, lap stolen from the rear. That car is still in the shop waiting for the window to arrive but Tesla gave me a model S loaner. Tonight, the loaner had its little window smashed at 280/Saratoga in San Jose. The seat had been folded down but there was nothing in the car. This was a well-lit parking lot and I was only gone for an hour.
It's a frustrating problem that seems to be getting worse from what I'm reading. Is there anything Tesla can do to prevent this little window from being broken? Any stronger glass available for purchase just for that window? I don't know what the solution is besides throwing these thieves and thugs behind bars. I had been leaving the seat down and the rear cover open but forgot tonight since I always go to this shopping center for dinner, never thought twice about it.
My car had a front and rear camera and captured the break-in in SF (although it was dark). Here is a picture of the getaway car
