STOLEN CAR Friday Night---long

[amaritto]

Friday Night, went to the Detroit Red Wings game at the Joe. Parked my car in a decent area around Cobo Hall at around 7:15 or so.

Went in and watched the game. Fucking great game, Wings won 8-3.

Walk back to my car so me and the girl could go to Greektown for dinner and my car was definatley not were I parked it.

FUCKING GONE.

At first I thought it had been towed. So I called ALL of the Detroit police offices and only one answered. I told them that I thought my car had been towed, so they looked it up. "Sorry, but we do not have your car!". FUCK Well, I asked to report it stolen, and they told me to call another number.

So I did, and guess what NO ANSWER. My girl calls 911 as I am getting pissed. They answer, and they tell her "We do not deal with Detroit problems" and hang up. LMFAO, this is a great night so far...

So I decide to walk back to Cobo to find a officer that is on duty. When I get there, I was told, "we are in a shift change, it will be about 45min before a cop will be there". GREAT

Finally two plain clothed officers make it to Cobo and take my info on the back of an envelope. They tell me that it will be in the computers in about an hour.

I finally get home around 1 am, this all started at around 10:30. I call the number they gave me to get my case # for the insurance company. I get told, "O we are sorry, but it is not in the computer, you will need to come back down to fill out another report". Now I am fucking pissed. I asked if I can do it over the phone, "Sorry sir, you are not the owner of the car, so we are sorry, but you can not fill out the report on the phone or at the station." Really... So I can fill out a report on the scene, but not after.

My father is on the registration, and he was about 5 hours up north hunting, but they wanted him to call and make a report. SILLY I tell ya.

Finally, my girl goes home at around 6 or so, and I call again. "O we just put it in the computer". 8 hours later it was put in. So do you think they really looked for my car. BWHAHAHA FUCKERS

So now I am sitting here at work without a car. This was a shitty weekend.

I feel sick to my stomach writing this.

What´s worse, the police or the thieves

 

[frorider6]

Damn bro, I feel sick for you. That was a nice ride.

Damn that sucks, man. I'm sorry to hear that. Happened to a friends car. Called the cops every day for over a week... they had heard nothing. Turns out, it had been towed. The bank made an error, and said he hadn't paid in 6 months... which he had... but they had it towed. It got quite a few dents when it was gone... and the bank said they wouldn't reimburse him, as it wasn't their fault. An attorney he talked to also said it wouldn't fly in court. He couldn't prove they did it.

Buncha shit, man.

I hope it works out for you. But a lot of the times it's harder for the victim to get anything out of it... and it's very easy for the criminals. Not sure why.

amaritto man that sucks tremendous ass. i have been to your car page several times, basically whenever you post the link because i'm a big mustang fan. i can't believe they stole your shit!! i think i would've totally blown up on the cops if they jacked me around like that.
weren't you talking about selling that thing? i thought i remembered that...

anyways not to get off the topic but i'm amazed at how well the wings are doing this year. don't they have only like 3 losses right now and something like 17 wins? it's all because you got hull from us stars and now we are struggling to maintain a .500 record :/

 

[Kahn]

Thats exactly why I took the fucker, dude, its a cool car. Kidding man, sorry to hear it got snatched. It could have been worse though, I had a friend that got shot and killed when he came out of Tiger Stadium after the World Series in 84 and walked up on a kid stealing his car. Not that that will make you feel better.

 

[amaritto]

Thanx for all the good words guys. It is just a shitty feeling, knowing there is not a fucking thing I can do...

The car has been for sale, but no one could come up with the money. I guess this is a way out of it, but a shitty way at that.

Now I have to fight with the claims adjuster to make sure the ass gives me money for everything that I had on it.

Supersizeme, that page is old, everything that I have under the "Getting" sections, has already been put on the car.

Thanx again guys.

Sidenote: The Wings are kicking ass this year. They have played 21 games, lost 3 and tied 2 or 3.

Damn dude that blows, I hope to hell you had good insurance on the car. I have Nationwide and if my car gets jacked its under comprehensive and I pay no deductable. As far as the cops, yea they don't give a fuck. Anyone who thinks cops are out there to "help" you is an asshole, they are out there to make the city money and that's that. I had cars stolen before and they could care less if they aren't gonna make any money off you. Sucks but its the scam called the police, Like I said lots of insurance and if you can afford it get a Lo-Jack they seem to work.

 

[amaritto]

Anybody else had a car stolen??

How did the claims adjuster treat you?

 

[ZenMachine]

Never had a car stolen, but have worked for an insurance company before.

Remember the adjusters job is to pay out as little of the company's money as possible. Don't be willing to settle for the first number that they give you. Nothing is written in stone. If you have a local agent you could contact them if the adjuster lowballs you. They are responsible for keeping you happy and paying all the premiums. They may be willing to go to bat for you, maybe not, but perhaps worth a try.
