...I've been looking for a job for 2.5 YEARS since grad school, I've been a substitute teacher, teaching assistant, staffer/file clerk, election campaign worker, manager, sales and contracts assistant, customer service rep, scab during the grocery strike, temp auditor/staffer, etc.
(management job eliminated by jobs moved overseas or new technology, my entire department was fired-new software and call center in India, paperwork was digitized, part of the work subcontracted out).

....I've got 2 BAs, Master's, and a year of law school

wtf, God must have something against you 'cause no man, especially one as educated as yourself, deserves sh!t like this

wow that sux,

I have comprehensive on all my vehicles,

no collision on my beater p/u.

College is too expensive........

Good paying jobs are getting tough to find,also.

Best wishes,good luck,hope you called the local police,

check the local tow company yards.?

I hope they find your car. It has to be a horrible feeling to come out and find your vehicle just gone.

I just looked at my insurance policy and comprehensive for my cars with a $500 deductible is $12.50 for six months on one car and $21.50 for six months on the other. Maybe someone else will read all this and opt to add the comprehensive coverage that they thought was going to be expensive.

Good luck!

Sorry the hear about this man, but you WILL work through.Just give it time and grit your teeth.

Most stolen cars are recovered in a few weeks with some of the parts stripped down (by the police). Maybe your insurance will cover the missing parts? Sorry to hear about that man.

Damn, that's very sad to hear. But in recent year, i have 2 cars (robbed and stolen) 1 year apart. They were all totyotas

now, the real deal- someone painted 'call the police' and put the date (back in January) on the car in that paint/compound used for store window displays on all four main windows of the car... but in almost 2 months, no one called the police. A police officer driving by actually noticed this and stopped and ran the license.

The first thing he said when I showed up was- "Wow, noboby steals an Altima in this town. I can't believe it."

Interviewed for a second job this week to buy another car too, lol.

recently i just paid off my entire stafford loan all at once and it left me with $1000 in the bank. well i eat at home, bring lunch to work, pass up a $150 9800pro, going to pass up a $138AR 17-inch LCD, passed up the $800 dell 700m...

and now i have $2500 in the bank. i guess once you see through the commodities you can save a lot of money.

I agree.
Even though i am in college being supported by my parents i am lucky in many ways. Nonetheless i still work hard earn some wages doing freelance, get an education and have reduced buying things i dont need. I used to be audioholic, buying all the cool gagdets, klipsch speakrs computer laptop when i was in high school. Then now i am saving up and not wasting a whole lot of money. I have a old Integra, those cars are hot for theives, which is precisely why i haevnt spent too much money on it. Keep your valuebles unnoticed. Like dont wax your car all the time. Keep a low profile. Organize yourself, ask your friends for help wit books and education. Many there are many more people that are much worse of then u. But its a lesson to learn and life goes on. You have a hell of an education dont worry, hard work pays of.

I ha my car stolen in March last year, it was recovered 3 weeks later, completely stripped and burnt out, the funny thing was the thiefs were keen to steal my car because after they tried for 30mins to start the car(it had a security system and imobilizer) they left it and came back 20mins later with a flat top truck and towed it awat, this was all caught on camera, which eventally lead to the arrest of 3 men.
the sad part was that my car due to the type it was, was grossly under insured, I ended up getting around $3000 for a car that i had spent close to $20000 on🙁

aye im on a student loan here, and im still well clear of the overdraft. most of my friends are well into theres yet they still go out and spend upto £30 on drinks. i spend about £10 maybe less on food, (in catered hall anyway) and i judt dont go out as much as they do, and when i do i dont spend too much.

its good to be tight fisted

Glad you got your car back.
