and my rador dectector too and glasses and other ****

 

do they usually cover personal property?

 

insurance doesn't cover personal property. the radio is technically part of the car, so that is covered. however, radar, sunglasses, wallets, etc do not count. instead they are covered by a person's homeowners insurance.

 

if you have a good insurance company

 

my insurance coveres that crap. sisters car got broken into and they took her leatherjacket and they covered it

 

hmmm, that sucks....sorry to hear about that nate.....

 

thanks Melissa.

 

just take it a day at a time.....
its a process and a hassel, but before you know it you will have your car back and everything will be okie!

 

Sorry you're having to go through all of that. Yuck.

 

I deal with people that have had their portable navigation / sirius/xm radio / radar detector stolen all the time. Often, insurance won't cover those particular items. If they do, it is considered a vandalism claim and you will most likely have to pay higher premiums in the future. Throw in your $1000 deductible, and it might just make sense to deal with it out of pocket. Once again, sorry Nate.

 

most typical car insurance policies do cover a small portion of personal property in the car, however it typically has a small limit like $250 as those items should be covered elsewhere either on a homeowners or renters policy.

sorry to hear about your crappy day. What industry were you in? I know an awful lot of headhunters in the bay area, maybe I could recommend one who deals in your industry. Although I think the school idea is a great one. May as well make yourself more marketable while the economy takes a 5 year nose dive.

 

nate, what did you find out about your car?

 

+1 for an update.

 

Taking it to the body shop tomorrow. Insurance adjuster will be there, do her thing and then we'll find out just exactly how $ screwed I am.

 

any luck on the job front? what did you do for a living before?
