Angry Driver's side mirror toast...

About a month ago someone ran into the side of my truck (bedside behind the driver's door) and of course took off without a note or anything - basically ruining my originally straight bedside.

Today I come out and someone has taken out my driver's mirror. They're the old 3-point RV mirrors originally on the truck. They're hard to turn anyway, so it was hit pretty hard. It was mashed flat against the pillar with the glass mostly busted out all over the street. The only compensation was the remains of another mirror (passenger side) of a relatively new truck or SUV in the debris as well. No note. No nothing.

I'm getting tired of people treating my truck like a battering ram. Just venting. Something else to fix.

That sucks.

I have attached my west coast mirrors with Nylon nuts and bolts. This way if anything happens it will not damage the door and the mirrors will just rip away.

That's a great idea; I should probably look into doing that.

My passenger mirror is still bent from when some f***ing morons broke into my truck to TRY and steal my low-end Aiwa head unit. It might've been worth $20 like that.
