3 roofs were done, but not nearly as bad as mine, and 3 or 4 other cars had wing-mirrors ripped off. Couple of windshiekd wipers too. So yeah, vandals!

Got my quote yesterday, remove headlining, front windshield, rear window, seat, cut out roof, new roof panel, hew head lining, new bonnet, respray these panels. (No new sharkfin).
£3-4k. So about $5,500 I think. Nasty.
I am now the proud driver of a 1.4l Kia Rio. Doesn't even have central locking, a/c, or elec windows, and don't get me started on the gearbox!!!
This'll be a long 2 1/2 weeks!
It could have been drunk sailors, you know how they can be. Or maybe it was pirates or vikings! At least it would make a good story. You could have the car modified and make it a convertable.

Anyways enjoy driving the tub (Rio), it will make you appreciate your baby that much more.

Looking at this makes me sick to my stomach. I feel for you. Please let us know how it turns out. Just remember... Karma is a bitch. They will get theirs!

My guess is it was drunken gay sailors dancing on the cars as if it was a music video!

P.S. I hope they get theirs!!

If I ever found someone in the act, they'd be very, very sorry.
