My passenger side quarter window was shattered last Friday. At first, I thought it was just bad luck thermal expansion stuff. But yesterday I found there's a knife mark on the driver's side window. Does that mean someone tried to steal my car? It's tinted so they can't see its manual from outside.

Did manual really stop a theft?

I'll consider the answer is possibly yes. Not something I would rely on or be a reason to choose a stick, but plausible.
May have been a simple car burglary as well. No way of knowing what's in a scumbag's brain.
As far as a manual, yeah, it's possible. Each step taken to prevent a theft is one more obstacle for that scumbag and a reason for him to move on to another target instead. Nowadays, the manual tranny is one of those steps. A club is another (not many are carrying saws and lock defeating devices on them). Endless theft prevention measures can be taken and each one is good! This does not apply to professional thieves who have seen it all and basically 'been there, defeated that."

That's why my 2009 SRT is protected by an old school Ravelco anti-theft device.

I am curious how your window tint held up. Was all the glass stuck to a single sheet of tint?
What is the cost to replace that side window? I assume it is just glued on.
