Dropped off car on Friday to my mechanic, I called him this morning to pick it up and he notified me that someone broke into the lot where the cars are kept and my car was gone. It was a 1994 4door Saturn. The damn thing is only with about $2,500-$3,500 insurance will cover it but damn now I dont have a car.
***UPDATE***
Just got off the phone with my insurance agent, he doesnt think that the garages insurance policy covers theft. I am calling the garage tommorow to get this straightend out. I also just got off the phone with the detective assigned to the case. The Mercedes SUV that was parked next to mine was broken into, the cdplayer stolen, the TV's inside of it stolen and the Wheels taken off. The wheels were left and inside the mercedes was a note taped to the steering wheel that said "Sorry" with a
under it.
Now this is where it gets interesting, the Mercedes had been there for over a week. The owner brought it in to have repairs on it, which were very expensive. The lady that owned it said um I cant afford that and thats the last the owner of the garage has heard from her. Like I said it has been well over a week since he last had contact with her. The detective thinks that the woman that owns the Mercedes had someone come in and take the radio, tvs etc so she could claim the theft on her insurance, and simply used my car as a getaway car. He also said there is a possibility that the car was stolen to run drugs in it...evidently happens alot. I would have to agree that something is fishy........why else would you steal a car that was worth maybe $3000 when a $30,000 mercedes SUV that was sitting right next to it was broken into.
