They allowed me to file a report, but they didn't actually *do* anything about it.

While I'm sure it takes a lot of force to crack a Bonneville windshield, it can happen fairly easily if you get hit with a rock on the highway. And oh yeah, if there was no windshield there and the rock hit me, it would have been pretty messy.

One of them is branching out in a "star" pattern, two of the others are not, and the last one is a pretty serious etch from a pretty serious sized rock.
