I just had the car washed yesterday, but i go to the outdoor ones where you wash it yourself just using their water and tools... Crazy that it ripped off, its a good heads up for people who go to those types of car washes to make sure the doors are locked, I would have never thought of that.

Good story to post. I would have NEVER thought of this and could have been a victim as well. I always wash the car by hand myself, but hey...you never know how things change.

I am sorry about what happened to your car and thank you for sharing.
Another reason for me to avoid those automatic car wash!
