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. :-) :-)

Bums, they're all bums!!

That sucks. :-)

Did they just smash out the window and run?
[Reply]

Sorry to hear it. I hate thieves too.
[Reply]

that sucks.
[Reply]

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?
[Reply]

Check the nearest pawn shops asap. Also you know that pre-teen down the street? Keep an eye out if he has a new ipod or something in the next few days.



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.

Well I am sure you won't forget to lock your doors from now on. It still sucks though. :-)
[Reply]

Sorry to hear that, druggies :-)
[Reply]

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.

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

Sorry to hear that got ya'.

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". :-)
[Reply]

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?
[Reply]

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. :-)
[Reply]

not sure the protocol... but that sucks sir.

I hate that we live in a society where we have to lock our doors.

Karma... have faith. Just think the people who stole you stuff, are probably so strung out on dope that they are already on the wrong side of the karma wheel... or they are just @holes!
[Reply]

The price you paid. They will depreciate it from there.
[Reply]

Replacement cost.
[Reply]

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

So you will get $427-$100-depreciation. Then when you replace the items, if it cost more than the depreciation they took on it, they will reimburse you the difference. It probably isn't worth it because your insurance will go up for a long, long time.
