my vert got hurt.....
last nite, my work had a quarterly meeting followed by drinking w/ dinner....i was pretty drunk, and decided to park my vert in the parking lot, and called a cab....this morning, as soon as i got to work, one of the guards called me, and said someone or 2 tried to break-in to my vert....i looked at her, and the top was cut-through on several places & window was badly scratched....luckly, no body damages....insurance claim was made, but no police report....
i am sad that she is hurt...

That sux. At least you had the sense to call a cab. 
I'd rather see a Vette "hurt" than the driver or someone else being injured/killed.

Same **** happened on my C4 
. And the bad part was is that there was a back order on white tops. A few things to know; Make sure that the replacement is a GM top and be sure to check out the place that will put the top on. I took mine to the dealer and they sub it to a top shop down the road. You have to wait like a week until you put the top down. First time I put it down (a week and half later) the rear glass busted. I was madder than hell. But they fixed it so just make sure you know whom you are dealing with.

I'd get a police report too, just too cover your azz in case they try to raise your premium.
