I'd spend the money and buy an alarm with a pager that reaches where you live with the tilt sensor. Being on bricks is scary, never thought about it til I singed up for this site and had an alarm installed to TRY and prevent it. Hope it works out OK OP, I feel for you.

****, people these days are getting really good at this tire/rim jacking.
You would think they could get jobs with NASCAR at the speed they take off the tires. My brother told me a story about how his friend's dad got his wheel stolen of his Escalade while parked at target....yes, in the middle of a crowd. Anyways, I hope everything gets sorted out my friend. Best of luck to you. |

Good news. Spoke with the claims rep and asked if getting a check cut out to me instead would be possible and she said no problem. She asked about the tread life on the tires since they were pretty new Michelin pss so she is going to call the dealer I purchased the car from to confirm.

Sorry to hear it chief. Nothing makes my blood boil faster than a thief.
As for the check, what you do with the money is your concern, not theirs. The assumption is that you will use it to put wheels/tires, and repair/replace damaged brakes with it. The fact that you may not be using OEM parts is negligible, since not all insurance repairs are made with OEM parts to begin with. DO KEEP IN MIND!! If you get aftermarket wheels and/or parts, that you may want to have them added to the insurance policy. Companies like Progressive and State Farm typically only insure up to $1k - $2k for aftermarket accessories (I use to work for Progressive at one of their Claims Concierge Centers) on normal auto policies. Anything beyond that is your loss, as they will just use OEM or basic aftermarket replacements. Chances are it will cost you a little extra, but when the **** hits the fan, you may be glad you did it.

Awesome. Looks like the end might be near.
I found somebody local willing to lend me their stock 350z wheels in the meantime. Does anybody know if they will clear the sport brakes? I have 20/25 spacers on the car right now if it helps.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Why the F*** do all Insurance companies
grill are butts and seem like their doing us a favor in life bye paying off a legitimate claim. You are the "victim" and not a suspect...The Insurance company needs to fire the knuckle head claims adjuster and apologize to you. Best of luck.. |
