[QUOTE]Originally posted by LOA: [QB] Okay, so let me preface the following message with this statement: I do NOT want to hear any type of "I told you so" or "Serves you right" comments in light of the information I will provide. Yes, I know many of you have stated this would happen. I won't deny that. Hell, even *I* knew it was going to happen! It was just a matter of time. And I'm fine with it, now. I just wanted to share the pictures with the world.... <a href="http://www.loaconstrictor.com/stereo/theft.html">Click Here</a> That link shows what is left of my car stereo. A few weeks ago, some amateur hoodlums broke into my car and took my stuff. It was bound to happen, I'm not horriby surprised. I am, however, irritated. And what irritates me about this, you may wonder? Not the loss of the stereo. I mean, that sucks, and I miss my gear, but no. That's not the irriating part. What irritates me is the fact that my gear was taken by people who didn't even know what they were DOING, and were very careless. Looking at the mess they made of my car, and how badly they broke things, there's no WAY that gear came out in good shape. So really, they pretty much stole my shit and most likely f*cked it up in the process. THAT is irritating. If you're going to steal a stereo, at least have enough respect for the equipment to do it well. And the insurance stuff is nonsense. I mean, seriusly... the insurance companies RUSH to tkae your money, but they sure do drag their feet when it comes time to pay it back. And they put me under fraud review. FRAUD REVIEW! And I understand why, to an extent.... I mean, it's a total of about $6K in loss and damage, so I can see why they want to check everything. But what got to me is the fact that I was told "We are investigating you because it is highly abnormal for a 23 year old girl to claim such substantial stereo loss." Highly abnormal? Maybe. But, as I pointed out to them, it's ALSO highly abnormal for a 23 year old girl to pay an extra $40 a month for coverage JUST FOR HER STEREO, but I do and have for almost 2 years. Furthermore, it's highly abnormal for a 23 year old girl to have all of the boxes and reciepts for such a large amount of stereo equipment, but I do. And I have pictures, SOOOOO many pictures, all of which have been provided to the insurance company. And every employee at every stereo shop in town knows me by NAME. All highly abnormal, yet true. But I'm obviously making my stereo and it's ensuing loss up. They implied that maybe I took my stereo. Hello? I mean, I'm sure it's been done in the past, but as I told them, if I was going to take my shit, I would have done a better job. And I wouldn't have busted out a window when it's lower than 40 degrees outside. Hello, that's what a coat hanger is for! :rolleyes: And if I'd taken my own stuff just to get a "better" system, odds are good that I wouldn't have FLIPPED out on my adjuster when she told me I was going to get "comparable equipment." I hate that term. Comparable equipment? Nothing compares to your first set of Phoenix Gold amps. NOTHING. Especially when the ones you had are discontinued and CANNOT be replaced. Comparable, my ass. So there's that. It's cool though... I'm a lot calmer about it than I expected to be. I'm just mostly irritated about the insurance BS and them dragging this out. Being without music sucks. But in the grand scheme of things, it's not that bad. It's just a stereo, not a life altering catastrophe! So there's that... my vent for the day... hope you enjoyed! :p [/QB][/QUOTE]
