So I got hit with a double whammy today. I parked on 18th Street close to the West Side in NYC today and get back to my car after a few hours only to see this on the driver side. 
At first I thought a truck or another vehicle side swiped my mirror. I looked at the side of the car to see if there was any other damage, walked to the rear and then the front...thankfully nothing else happened. So I looked on the ground and noticed nothing there either. Upon closer inspection there is absolutely no damage to the structure, the $h!t was stolen off my F*@kin@ car!!! Someone stole my mirror, the frame and the painted piece and left everything else in tact. Whoever did it had to have been a pro, all wires were disconnected, oh but they did leave the LED's!!! WTF!!!! I'M PISSED!
so I got prices: mirror = $319, other pieces =$98, Total: $417
To add insult to injury, the tire TPM chimes on the way home...I stopped at a gas station and checked I have a bolt in my rear driver side tire.
Not having a good day!

WOW that sucks.. this is one of the reasons why I never take my car into Manhattan.. Everytime I park my car there I always look back at it like if it will be the last time I will ever see it.
Well at least you were side swiped and no body damage was done. And I hope the tire can be plugged..

True as that maybe, you never really expect it to happen to you.
