My car was broken into last night. They got about 80 CDs or so and a wireless card. Bastards, just steal the ****ing thing next time.
You keep 80 CDs in your car?? That's too bad. I hope you can recover them back. Boy, if I lost 80 CDs, I don't know what I would do unless they were ones that I never listen to anymore like Britney Spears, Limp Bizkit, 'N Sync, and Creed.
They were in one of those big carrying cases. At least my laptop, wallet, checkbook, or cell phone weren't in there.
That happened to me a few weeks ago, they got about 120 CD's and a watch. Luckily I had ripped all my CD's onto my computer and just have to burn new copies, but it still pisses me off.
I live on Cole, just south of Knox. This took place off of Oak Lawn. State Farm rocks. They're already sending me a check for $1,175 to cover the losses. Unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to pay for the window myself because of the deductible.
wow, you're lucky. when my car got broken into earlier this year, I had to fight w/ my insurance company for 2 weeks to get my full payment. they kept undervaluing the price of my convertible top!
I was talking to some friends last night about this very topic. They live in a gated apartment complex on Eldridge Parkway just north of Westheimer. One of their neighbors recently had someone break into his car, but the story gets worse. Apparently the 'in' thing to do now for thieves is to eliminate any evidence/fingerprints that they may leave behind. How do they accomplish this? They set the car on fire. That's right, this guy torched their neighbor's car, completely destroying it and severely damaging vehicles on either side of it. Sick, sick stuff.
Jeez, well at least my car didn't get burned! I can't believe how easy this has been so far. Now all I have to do is get the police over here, get the window fixed, and I'm good to go. Having to call 911 for a police report is kinda stupid, but at least they can do it over the phone!
Hey just a word of advice. Im in the insurance business and there is a way to get reimbursed for the cost of your CDs and wireless card even though they arent considered a part of your car.
Thats what I was going to tell you. Some people dont realize that HOI covers stuff that was stolen from your car.
I didn't know that either...luckily State Farm did! I'm still in shock over how easy this has been. Knocking on wood.
State Farm is a good company. I have USAA, which is only available to military people and their families. USAA is by far the best if you can get it.
Ooo, Uptown. I was curious because I'm between Deep Ellum and the Fair Park and I noticed a lot of broken glass along Main this week, like somebody went down the street breaking into cars. Luckily, I park in a garage.
