Dang Thieves!!!!

elderboy02 · 11-18-2009, 10:28 AM

Someone stole my radar detector, power cord, mounting unit, TomTom, and 2 way power supply from my car last night.

I hope karma bites whoever did this in the rear end. May they burn in hell. I hate thieves.

That sucks.

Did they just smash out the window and run?

No. Luckily they didn't damage my car. I think I accidentally left the car unlocked b/c I had some packages to carry from my car last night.

It just sucks b/c I live in a nice neighborhood.

What is the protocol now? Do I contact my insurance company first or file a police report?

Insurance company will want the police report. Call the police and file the report, then call your insurance company.

Chalk it up as a loss. I am sure your deductible won't we worth the value of the items and the rise in your insurance premiums. Call the police, but chances are they won't do much to find the people who took it. Going to be tough to trace unless there is something that distinguishes the items from any other or they happen to find a serial thief. It sucks, but it happened to my brother and pretty much all they could say was, "Next time lock your doors".

I have a $100 deductible. The radar detector is $300 new, Tom Tom is about $120. Cigarette lighter 2-way adapter is about $7

Nope, replace the stuff, and leave the car unlocked again while you sit in the bushes with a Beretta 92 FS. Then, when they come back, ask for your stuff nicely.

You see, that requires me to wait around. I think Claymores would work better

Well I am sure you won't forget to lock your doors from now on. It still sucks though.

There aren't any pawn shops nearby.

Yep. I will be sure to lock them now. In a way, it might have been better to leave them unlocked. Otherwise, they might have smashed the window. I would then have to get the window re-tinted.

Chances are they were just checking for unlocked doors, unless there is another car in the neighborhood who got something stolen and they actually broke into it.

Sorry to hear it. I hate thieves too.

Police report. Most insurance will require one before they will do anything. BTW if your vehicle insurance doesn't cover and the car was in your drive way check with your homeowners policy it may cover.

Thanks for the advice. It was on the street. Also, when determining the value of the contets, do I give the price I paid for the items or the value of them used?

acarr · 11-18-2009, 10:39 AM

The price you paid. They will depreciate it from there.
