I don't work for an insurance company, I work for a financial services company that owns insurance companies among other subsidiary endeavors. I have learned a lot of how it works though, and you sound like the hordes of people who think it is smart to turn in every claim. If you would like for me to do the math on how it would be worse for him in the long run, and how if he were to have another claim in the next six years he runs the risk of being non-renewed, and then having to pay for high risk home insurance, I could do so. Hopefully he has an insurance policy that returns a portion of his premium if he's claim free for a certain of time anyway. If he's not, he should look for a company that does.
But, since you seem to insinuate something about my integrity already, you probably wouldn't listen.
I'd just do the math, and think it over before turning in a theft claim that will probably net you $1,000 now Doc.
I guess you missed the LOL part. I was being facetious and certainly never meant to impugn your integrity. It was a joke. Sorry it didn't play well.
Yeah, I interpreted the LOL as you laughing at my profession (which I don't really work in fully )
I am a person who tries really hard to be trustworthy though, so I can be a little sensitive about my integrity at times. Sorry for my ill-advised rant.
No problem--sometimes it's hard to read a person's intent on a forum when all you have to go by is typing.
Sorry to hear that doc, I think you should just get rid of that car, its been bad luck since you bought it (I'm semi serious).
I would call your insurance co and find out if making a claim will raise your insurance. If you've never had a claim on it I would hope it wouldn't. That's the whole point of insurance, its there when you need it.
Getting things stolen from you is one of the worst things possible. It just pisses you off because you know that you can't do anything about it and the cops WON'T do a damn thing either. I had my car broken into a couple times when I was a teen and the site of coming out to your window smashed is one of the most infuriating things ever.
doc, is it feasible to stop on the way home, drop your stuff off, and then go to the gym?
I'm asking, because (as you know), thieves target cars that have items laying out in the open. There's nothing easier than smashing a window and grabbing an ipod or computer, and running away. I'd just as soon lock all stuff in the trunk, but better yet, get it out of the car.
