They were probably trying to jimmy the 'stang so they could scratch the vin's and sell it 'no questions asked'

Sorry to hear about your bro's suburban :( Insurance sucks like that, its the reason I only carry liabilty on my Beretta.

As for the nut jobs running around, its a shame... I just can't comprehend why they'd do the things they do.

I hear that, I try to give insurance the least amount possible also, I figure I make it up in 6 month's just by not having a wreck.

Yep these clowns are going crazy now, they prolly felt invincible during our awesome economy and just bought every toy they could and stayed on credit and check to check. Now no one is hiring contractors and such or sevrence is up and people are going nuts trying to survive. :(

What insurance company? That's comprehensive. Tell your brother to go back and get his damn money from them.

Thats what I told him, it's State Farm, I told him to call the 1-800 Number, I think his agent is BS'n him, waiting to hear back from him now.

Did he have any sort of alarm or something? If this happens alot maybe he should forgo the mods for an alarm or something.

I don't think anybody would ever try stealing my car, nobody is that desperate. If you've ever seen the SNL skit where they have the anti-theft personal luxury car (looks like a POS on the outside but REALLY nice interior) you have a decent picture of my car. It's an old caddilac that's been beat up on the outside pretty badly. If that doesn't stop them, the fact that they'll get pulled over because the speedo is off from swapping differentials might help.

Update: So my Brother had called the police about this at 3PM MTN time today it's 6 and they are still not there.

Way I see it the government can work on 2 birds with one stone here, They need to hire more officers, for one thats more employment and 2 it's more protection for the upcoming Loonies that are out due to the recession.

Other update Skoorb, yes his agent is a fart-knocker, he called State Farm themselves and it is covered under comp, I told him to toss that snake :|

My friend's car got broken into when it was parked across the street from my townhouse a couple years ago. Called 411, asked for the Atlanta Police Dept information line, called that, said I don't have an emergency, just need someone to come by and file a report, they say call 911. Ok, whatever, I call. They say unless the guy is still there, that an officer doesn't need to come by. They'll have someone call back and get the info and file the report over the phone. Oh well. Rather em out there stopping crimes from happening than coming by and doing paperwork for us anyways.
