Some of you may remember the Christmas Jingle Erik wrote. I'm not nearly as Witty and a little too angry to see straight, I walked down to my brand-freakin-new car at a little before 5am already running a little late to find...
Don't worry, you can click em to make them bigger.
Things someone APPARENTLY needed more than I did:
a 350 cd book filled with CDs, the last two pages with DVDs and psychonauts my favorite game for playstation (wanted it for 360 anyway, jerks) and YES I am apparently one of the only idiots that still buys each and every CD. As motivation to quit smoking I told myself I could get a CD every other week, it's dropped off since the book was about full but, yes it's all gone. And the real son of a poo about it? I had this happen to me a few years ago with my first tC and they stole all my CDs so I've been slowly rebuilding my collection.
My DVD player :( COME ON! I USE THAT!!!!!!
Eriks brand new set of snap on blue point tools, including a full ratchet set, wrench set, and a torx spit set. Thanks JERKS he had that in the car because we where going to use it to go fix my step moms car today. Why, WHY would you take that? Thats the only freaking ratchet he has other than his air set. HES A MECHANIC YOU JERKS HE NEEDS THAT!!!!!!
My fancy sunglasses that I finally shelled out 300 bucks for because they looked THAT good on my face :( They don't look as good on you PLEASE give them back :(
oh And my window, thank-you-very-flippin-much for shattering my window so it scratched my paint and then rubbing it around so it ruined my custom leather seats THANKS REALLY!!!!!
And you guys do this the day before Valentines day, are you kidding me? Now instead of going out to a nice dinner we will be sitting at home for our first valentines day and our one year anniversary on Saturday as well, thanks guys, really. Not like we where going to do anything nice for each other or go out to a nice dinner even, no worries the money to pay the deductible was just sitting there waiting around for nothing. AND the Grey tC isn't really in daily driver condition and it's stored so now we have one usable car between us, so thanks for the day off work right after I got a raise, appreciate that too not like I need the money or anything. A-holes.
I'm mad, not a little mad I'm really mad.
Stupid jerks.

Holy biscuit, that sucks...Atleast they didn't take the whole car..
Is insurance covering anything?
Adorian
02-13-2008, 02:16 PM
Yeah, I've heard they progressive is pretty good.... I switched to them last month (thank god)
but dunno yet, I filed the claim and was told someone would call me today at 10... so I'm just waiting.

You're probably going to have to somehow prove some of the stuff was in the vehicle. Ever since people started claiming that high end cameras, ipod, laptops...etc...have been stolen when they haven't, they've been pretty tight about that kind of stuff. Hope it all gets sorted out, I'm in the middle of dealing with insurance as well.

so sorry to see/hear that =( unfortunately a$$ holes are everywhere. Do you have ANY idea who it could have been? Did this happen in yr apartment complex? At night?
I know how much it sucks to loose your CD collection, my ex friend stole mine. 100+ CDs

Progressive claim rep here:
(unless Washington's insurance policy is significantly different)
Any loose items, anything not bolted to the car, will not be covered by your policy. All that stuff would need to be covered by your home owner's/renter's policy.
I can't tell you how many people's day I've ruined with that statement.
Adorian
02-13-2008, 02:33 PM
yeah this is the SECOND time so it really makes me mad and it's right before Valentines day and my anniversary which means we get to do nothing, but we can pay our deductible. Woo.
I don't think someone did it as something against me, I don't really have any enemies and I think I'm a pretty good person all in all, I live by a trail and I usually park my car on the other side of my building instead of on the trail side because this happened to our 86 not too long ago... but Erik picked up thai food on his way home last night and forgot to get the sauce for the eggrolls and chopsticks, so I said I'd run out and grab them (the Thai restaurant is like 10 minutes away tops) and when I got back that was the only place to park.
Stupid stupid green river trail. I moved here because it was so pretty and I could go running on it and it goes forever right along the green river and by the golf course and all that... APPARENTLY someone uses the trail for something else.

I constantly ruin people's day, but what is worse is when I have to get the state police involved for insurance fraud and potentially ruin people's lives.
In this case, better to know what's coming rather than think the claim rep is trying to pull anything.

I am super sorry to hear this. People suck! And as usual nobody saw a thing, right? Most of the time (around here anyway) It's kids who's parents don't care where their kids are. I'm sorry to say that they don't care about about others stuff. They just don't think about it.
I guess it's time for a PSA: Even though your kids will get mad, Show then you love them by knowing what they are doing.
I've been told I was crazy for always parking my car in the grage every night AND having a two-way remote so I can keep track of it even when I can't keep an eye on it.
Adorian
02-13-2008, 04:11 PM
I was the same way with my last one frosty :(
And yeah I talked to my progressive rep, and as I already suspected anything not mounted isn't covered, oh well. The DVD player is covered though :) I was afraid it wouldn't be so at least I get that part, woo.
Trying not to be so grumpy about it, it sucks, being mad isn't going to get me anywhere though unfortunately.
I just wish I knew tomorrow was going to be a better day, unfortunately tomorrow is going to be a big ol let down too.

adorian. damn sorry to see that the lame ___ punk couldn't afford to buy the stuff rather they have to steal from your car. hope someone does this same thing to them only worse.
from this point forward please make back up copies of your CD's using a burner. you are allowed to do that under copy right laws. keep the originals in the house. use you computer to make back up copies. normal cd player and a burner. now you can only have one back up copy at a time. this is to keep from getting into copy write stuff. but will save you time and money in the long run. also the crook can't sell the burnt copies. learned this when my toyota pick got broken into. took two of my cd cases with about 150 in one case and 200 in another case. value lost around 2,000 or so dollars. now told me friend to make copies of his cd for back ups. his car got broken into lost only his case. total lost of CD's 50 dollars. but easy to replace about 8 hours worth of work and 10 buck for the cd case and 20 bucks for the new cd and about 10 or so dollars for the CD label paper.

02-13-2008, 10:12 PM
i do that, i don't burn every single one, just my favs--ol skool mike and janet. and my mix cds. i don't use the label paper though, i just write whatever it is on the cd with a sharpie.
Adorian
02-13-2008, 11:21 PM
I should get the label paper... then I can print it up so it looks like the real CD ish...
I have back ups of a LOT of my music (because I like to use it on my ipod for running) but it's the few CDs I never backed up that really irk me and the mixed CDs I made for cruising the Beach with my friends in Guam, or the first CD Erik made me when we got together. The things that have real true sentimental value that you can't put a price on that I won't get back because some jerk wanted them. And they will probably just end up in the garbage somewhere.
Police came and dusted for prints, took the few CDs that the guy took out of the CD case and threw around my car and is gonna do the fancy super glue thing they do to get finger prints off of stuff like that and give it his best. Car is now at the shop and she's sad :(
Insurance guy just called and I will say this PROGRESSIVE ROCKS! I'm so glad I have them. I don't have the receipt for my in dash and they are just maxing out the amount and cutting me a check so we can get a new one and do the install ourselves, they are getting me a new drivers seat because there is a teensy tiny scratch in it, they didn't even argue with me over it AND they are re painting my interior pieces color matched to the Black Sand Pearl because it got scratched up when jerk hole ripped out the DVD player. They are also doing a full proffesional detail on the car, replacing the inside door panel because there are a few scratches on it (I didn't even notice them they're so small) AND they are going to fix the few scratches on the outside by repainting the whole door.
I've decided to make not having all of my music right now like I want it so hard I'm going to get xm as soon as I get my baby back.
AND she's a fighter! there was some of the jerks blood in my car, so at least I know he/she got hurt in the process of completely ruining my day.
AND you guys are right, at least I still have Erik. He says he's just happy that someone stole my stuff rather than beating me up and car jacking me. He always knows what to say :)
Anywho, thank you so much guys for all your support!

sorry to hear that same thing happen to me when i lived in idaho with the acura but since it was at the radiator shop getting fixed when they stole the stereo, 2 12"subs and box, sliced the glove box and stole the radar detector, and then the spark plug wires all of it cost around 400-600 buck i got from him around 1300 or so out of his own cash. But hey maybe it is time for an alarm so at least you can be safe.
Adorian
02-13-2008, 11:36 PM

That sucks! Sorry to hear that Allie.
Progressive claims is awesome! I had to deal with them a few years ago. Glad things are getting put back together.
Alarm and renters insurance are both good things to have. Be aware most times the people come back a few weeks later and hit the same car again after the insurance has replaced everything.
The first thing I get for all of my cars is always an alarm so far I have not lost anything. Knock on wood.

I am soooo sorry this happened to you hun, especially right before v-day like you said. At least it looks like everything will be replaced. I would now hire a guard dog to sit near my car constantly.. hehe. Or simply sleep in the car with a bat every night and if they ever come back, have no mercy on them. :P
Take care!

Thanks guys :) it has brought us closer, he really was my rock yesterday. Today is already off to a great start, one of my coworkers is giving me a ride to my appointment that I thought I was going to miss, I got a yummy steamed white chocolate soy milk from starbucks this morning (which was oh so yummy) Erik drove me in to work which was nice because we got some extra time together AND we got news that something we've been waiting for finally shipped yesterday afternoon, so gray tC is getting a valentines day present. Oh and I have a trainee at work today, so I am not doing anything. All.day.long. She is doing great and I'm letting her run the show today.

I cant believe the cops actually fingerprinted I have had 4 cars broken into and even when they took one cars the cops would never finger print. I now empty out my car every night, it really sucks because I normally carry around a lot of crap. I hope they find them and give them the chair. I have no concern for thief's. You know the worst part is, statistically it is going to be one of your neighbors. Keep an eye on them the most, Do a walk through the place and look for you deck. That is how I found my stuff once. Five doors down.
Don't let it get you down, It is only stuff, you cant take it with you when you go. But what you and Erick have and the memories you make, those last and can never be taken
Death to all thief's
