Re: Cracked windshield
If someone (off camera) threw something at the car and it quickly bounced away it might not be visible when reviewing the footage.
Most of the time the recording quality and frame rate on recorded video is pretty low. That is done to save space on the DVRs or servers and sometimes to save bandwidth if it is a network based system.
I have seen windshields do weird things do to manufacturing defects and previous stress imparted to them. When they get hot or cold damage shows up. I have seen windshields shatter seemingly for no reason.

Re: Cracked windshield
Truth be told, I'd rather replace a windshield instead of having a body panel repaired!

Re: Cracked windshield
That's a good way of thinking cause repairing the glass is just a temporary fix, and soon after you'll see the crack spread across your whole windshield but I am sorry to hear that you had to replace your windshield though since you have a piece of glass how about protecting it before it sees to much California sun???

Re: Cracked windshield
I'm sorry to hear that. I've seen this type of damage before. I'm willing to bet someone either tapped your windshield with the bottom of a beer bottle or with an aluminum water bottle. Either way, looks to be a passive-aggressive d-bag move.
Stuff like this really pisses me off. And believe me when I say I can relate, as my ride had been hit 3 separate times ($1800 total damage) while parked in my stall. Not at some mall lot or crappy neighborhood, but at my own spot where I thought the vehicle was "safe."
Couldn't prove the first. Knew who did the second, but had no evidence to pursuit - although karma took care of that one; victim of hit & run herself the following week. Caught the 3rd red-handed, but let it go because I felt sorry for her (pregnant girl, honest mistake).

How can one conclude this was done using specifically the bottom of a beer bottle or with an aluminum water bottle? What gives? The smaller inner circle that looks like a perfect shape of the bottom of a beer bottle?
