Mazda3 Hatchback - side window smashed! please help! PICS

I came back from out of town to find this:








This has never happened to me. Mazda says the window repair is $194 for the part + $210 labor = ~$404. my insurance deductible is $500. They stole some small items.

What should I do? Can I get it fixed elsewhere cheaper?

I would go to a junkyard, but I think there won't be any 2010s there. I'm assuming the old body Mazda3 has different windows, correct?

Any tips on how to get this done cheapest are much appreciated.

BASTARDS!

I'd hit the nearest body shop (that has a good rep) and see what they'd charge me for a new window. Usually it'll be less than the dealer charges.
**** the insurance...not only is it more expensive, but who knows if they'll jack up your payments if you report this to them.

I'd also probably buy a good alarm. $300-$400 installed isn't that much for piece of mind, IMO.

There's always this option too!
