my ******* car got broken into

[mazdadan]

Dude man that sucks. I always get a low ($50) comprehensive deductible in case something like that happens. Unfortunately, a lot of times if your car is not paid off, the insurance company will make the check out to you and the leinholder or you and a shop. This keeps you from pocketing the cash. But if your car is paid off, you will get a nice check made out to yourself.

sorry to hear dex, hopefully the guy(s) who did it will get hit by a car and die or something..what goes around comes around..

dont you guys have cheaper comprehensive deductables that cover theft and vandalism? when they stole my rims and tires i paid i think 50 bucks...it was supposed to be 100 but the ins company cut it in half because their jackass towing company tried to tow my vehicle on its rotars

JAC - nah, couldnt keep it

Yep $50 deductible here for comprehensive and $500 for collision. I just can't see having an expensive comprehensive deductible, especially if you need to replace windshields regularly or have lots of break-ins in your area.

i cant remember for sure if it is 100 or 50 my wife paid it, i was in germany when it happened

 

[Dimitrios]

codes in the head units don't do s***. GM has the same "autolock" system that so called "prevents" an HU from being used in another GM car - thus detering theft....it's total BS. If you know what you're stealing, then you know how to use it for your benefit.....

yea just a little over a month ago my msp got broken into, they broke the window and destroyed my dash, but I got something way better than the stereo that was in it.


Pioneer 5500 HU (not the best but does it's job and is better than the kenwood unit that was in the car, I'm saving for a DVD Deck)
2 Pheonix Gold 10" Octane R10 Subs
Pheonix Gold Octane R R4.0:2 Amplifier
Pheonix Gold Octane R R5.0:4 Amplifier
Installed in custom fibreglass inclosure

Here are some pictures of the breakin

It sucked but now I'm happier than before

hey linux, did they just cut you a check for that amount then and you got to use it how you wish?

I have Nationwide. The just cut me a check for my system when it was stolen. I could spend it anyway I wanted.

Dex man that just totally ****** SUCKS!!!! I hope those ****** bastards get their asses FRIED and beat down!!!:mad:

Man that s*** just pisses me off to no end! I wish the U.S.A. would punish theifs like they do in the arabic countries:
CHOP OFF THEIR ****** HANDS!!!

I guarantee they would`nt be stealing anything anymore!!

that blows monkey dix...but just be glad the car is still there...and they didnt take the whole damn thing

The Kenwood MP919(MSP radio) is detachable face.
Just read page 17 of your manual on how to do it. Its simple to do. Just wait for the face plate to flip down when you turn off the unit then pullit toward you. Keep in mind part of the area you could pull is the tray for the face plate. Pull that out and your F'd!

made out to me and the leinholder?
not to sound like an idiot, but who is the leinholder? the bank?

i honestly dont want to pocket any cash, i just want to do the work myself...im not gonna drive around in a ghetto mobile with a ****** up dash area.

 

[NRRfrogmanP5]

the leinholder i think the who is loaning the money to u..so i think its mazda american credit...thats the leinholder

 

[Dexter]

thats what i thought (but my loan is not from mazda credit)

how do i use the money then if its made out to me and the bank?

 

[Matthew]

you cant...thats what happened to me, the insurance company made the check out to my wife and the dealership...that means you HAVE to use the check there or from whoever else the check is made out to...just like if i make out a check to John and Jane Smith, both people have to sign the check to cash it, as opposed to if i made it out to John OR Jane Smith, where only one would have to sign it...sorry, you got screwed by your ins just like i did!

 

[Dexter]

huh? thats retarded......how did other people manage to get other head units put in after thiers were jacked then?

 

[Kenetix]

All depends on the insurance company man.

 

[Matthew]

because their insurance company just made the check out them instead of them and the dealer
