I call them several times to "review" my policy and nothing was done. So after 8 months of abuse, I started to look for a better insurance. By adding the Z, my policy was going to jump at $650 per month with USAA. I found a local Allstate agent and now I pay $330 per month with better and higher coverage limits than USAA. Allstate send me a check for "good driver" 6 months into the policy for almost the same amount USAA was sending just once a year with SSA subscriber savings account. I have an excellent driving record no reckless, no DWI, never totaled a vehicle and so on.

I pay $119 a month for full coverage + the extras I mentioned. I just have one vehicle and just myself for coverage. Maybe that could be the difference.

A wheel lock won't deter a thief. In fact, I knew someone who put all locks (5 different keys) on the wheels. Car was found on blocks one morning.

I know what you mean but that only serves to give you a false confidence that your property is safe, when in fact it is not. The one thing I can think of is getting tilt sensor installed, otherwise you're really at their mercy and hope they only take your wheels and not creating any damages to your vehicle.

Sorry to hear about this. I am gonna go figure a method to stamp my details inside the rims moving forward. Not much of a security measure but hey..

Dibs on your rotors......on a more serious note, sorry for your loss. I hope the thieves die in a slow and painful way. I remember someone hit my parked Z and ran. I died a little inside. Hope all goes well with your insurance. GL on repairs!

Man I feel you about getting hit while your car is parked, I parked my car far away from everyone at a supermarket and some jerkoff still manages to hit me

we can't ever have nice things.

GOT &^(**&# <-----insert many curse words and man screams here. Seriously sorry that this happened but thank you for sharing and warning us. This world is cruel sometimes. People have no consideration for others and how hard they work for their stuff. Not only do they destroy it/take it but then inconvenience you with the hassle of taking the time out of your day to deal with this nonsense. The $%&#*& better pray that the law catches them before some extremely irate angry SOB finds them. USAA will take good care of you. Seeing this makes me want to invest in a GPS Viper Alarm.

I thought my insurance was high until I read this thread geez

!! I was at $200 a month for 370z, GSXR1000 and BMW 323i, sold the bike and the rate went down to $88 a month for both cars full coverage 5/5 deductible. Moved from Hawaii to Florida with just the Bimmer and it went up to $120. Was told because of the hurricanes/storms is the reason it went up which makes sense. I have USAA as well. Currently with the FRS and the 370z paying $175. I also had a very bad driving record when I was much younger, mostly speeding violations. My record has been clean for quite some time now.

I hope you get taken care of, on the positive side you get new wheels, rotors, and from the pics looks like sides skirts/other panels and possibly a fresh paint job. I would talk with the body shop and see what you could work out on going aftermarket for wheels and rotors if that's something you wanted to do in the future anyway. Either way good luck and again sorry about this.

Does the park and ride have any cameras?

Redhorizons · 05-05-2015, 11:05 AM

Brad, no it doesn't. The community has been demanding it for some time.
