It was a crime of opportunity, not because they wanted it. The cops will find it tore up in a few days. Don't sweat it, that's what insurance is for. It just a new box on wheels anyway, and can be replaced with a new one just like it in less than a day. She should be more careful next time though.

thats what we figured... it was a crime of opportunity... it most likely would never have happened had the keys not been haning out the door lock. we hope it gets recovered. the part of this that hurt the most is that if the insurance doesnt decide to cover it for any reason we are stuck with car payments for about 4 years. i wont worry too much. theres not much we can do. i think we are going to go looking for it tomorrow. they looked a little today buy realized looking isnt going to do much. until then my sister is stuck at home it looks like.

I would for sure report a fraud alert the the 3 credit places. People can really mess with ya with all you personal information.

dinnut · 01-01-2004, 11:40 PM

Most insurance companys will grumble a lot about paying for a theft where the owner left the keys in the vehicle(or hangin out the door)

bet she wont do that again

WELL DINNUT .. IT COULD ALWAYS BE WORSE..... FOR INSTANCE.......... YOU'RE SISTER COULD HAVE BEEN TWINS , & BOTH GIRLS COULD HAVE LEFT THEY"RE KEYS HANGING OUT OF THE DOORS, & AS A RESULT BOTH OF THEIR CARS COULD HAVE BEEN STOLEN. THAT WOULD BE TWICE AS BAD.

I think it's pretty optimistic to think you're going to find it by driving around Houston all day. What are there, like a million people in Houston?

Seriously, there must be 1000 Cavaliers just like that around town.

dinnut · 01-02-2004, 01:47 AM

yeah i know. but were looking for abandoned cars. and right around where it was last seen... we just want the car back man!!!!!!!!!!!!11

my new 72 · 01-02-2004, 02:01 AM

Well, TX, there are actually over 3 million people within the city limits alone, not counting the surrounding counties. So I would say they are being way optimistic about finding it. The real problem about stolen cars is that they are usually not found unless the car is abandoned and someone reports it as such, or the theif is pulled over in it for speeding or running a light. Don't waste your time Dinnut, go to the movies and check your messages periodically for the cops calling to say they found it trashed and out of gas on the side of the road somewhere.

dinnut · 01-02-2004, 02:44 AM

yeah thats true. i can hope cant i?

i dont know if were going to go look. but only reason we would is so i can get some freeway driving done. ive only been on the freeway about 3 or 4 times. the last time i was on the freeway i went on 45, and beltway and maybe another i forget

casey · 01-02-2004, 04:40 AM

I'd make one call to the insurance company, and get a new one, don't worry about a easily replaced car, unless I'm missing something here there is insurance on it right?

dinnut · 01-02-2004, 05:22 AM

of course there is insurance. but, bc of that law roosters 67 pointed out, leaving the keys in an unattended vehicle is against the law and that is what happened they accidentally left the keys in the door. and someone took it. so they might or might not pay.
and we still owe the whole amount of money on the car almost. weve only had the car since february. and now our insurance rates are going to go way up and its going to make it harder for me to drive because insurance is already going to increase so much when i start driving.

Tx Firefighter · 01-02-2004, 10:26 AM

Dinnut, you've only been on the freeway 3 or 4 times!

Wow! This is going to be an enlightening day for you today them.
