Cheapest place for new Tail lights and Markers? Someone decided to smash mine.

Went up to my brother in laws bar to watch the second half of the superbowl. When i came out i noticed the driver mirror was pushed in. I did not think much of it.

I wake up the next morning and notice i have no tail lights they are all smashed in. It just snowed and there were no feetprint or extra peices laying around either. Later i called my brother in law and 2 other cars had broken mirrors or tail lights.

I was super sick today so i did not get a chance to really look it over since its like 5 out and the truck is dirty, but both tail lights are smashed, driver marker and headlight are broke, passenger headlight looks scratched at least and the antenna is mangled some.

I am worried it might be keyed but there was no way i was washing it today, i barely made it to work.

So not sure what i should do, turn it in to my insurance or just buy new stuff? I don't remember if i have a 250 or 500 detuctable, i am just really pissed off. I really hope the person who did this was drunk enough to brag about it, because there will be payback for sure.

Ok i will look around, any idea about the insurance though? Is it worth claiming or not or just bite the bullet and buy the stuff?

Thanks

Hey Ash, sorry to hear about that. I bet we have some extra L parts laying around our garage. Heck he might even take the ones off the truck if you tell him that it will help in weight reduction. Let me know, but if I go in my garage & they're missing you're the first person I'm coming to see.

If you can get past all the booby traps then maybe I'll let you have a floor mat or something.
