Need a shoulder to cry on...

[Capri]

sorry to hear, I need to put a guard dog or something in the car, ticks me off!

[VXcaver]

Daaamn... I don't ever want to get on Anita's bad side. Those old country curses suck!

George- best wishes in getting your truck fixed. Living in the middle of nowhere I've forgotten what city life is like sometimes. When I leave my truck parked on the street its hardly ever locked. (Maybe I shouldn't put that out there for the world to read...) And your truck is so cool. These idiots must've known they were destroying something damn special.

Moral: Next time I hear someone's car alarm bleeping and honking away I'm going to pay attention. Maybe it'll help keep someone else from having to go through that.

[WormGod]

Well, here's to hoping they broke the stereo getting it out too. They don't deserve ****e!

One reason why I hate leaving my VX at the subway station when I take the train. Tons of hoods just stand around waiting and watching for nice cars to park and when the owner walks away, he may as well leave his keys for the bastards.

[Bantan]

George, What they did sucks but what sucks even more is that your insurance company won't replace your radio. The more I think about it the more sick to the stomach I get.
I think this calls for a Ceasars Bay Meet of the NYCVX Chapter, to cheer George up.
What do ya say, Guys?

[Dallas4u]

Dood, really sorry to hear this. I feel weird parking my VX on the street in front of my house overnight, but sometimes I'm just too lazy to move it to the driveway (behind my gates). It WILL go back there from now on.

Well guys ,
To add fuel to the fire: insurance will not cover my stereo system because i never told them i upgraded to another system, even though i showed them pics of it from my gallery they still said since my stock wasn't stolen there was nothing they could do, and as far as a dash board goes they say the dealer sells it for 128 dollars and it is below my deductable so they recommend just purchasing it with out a claim. As far as the window I had full glass coverage so thats taken care of. Ahhhhh, the wonderful world of high insurance premiums always being there for you when you need them "NOT",,,,,So, Anyway I'd like to thank you all for your support as usual, and If someone does have a decent stock CD changer please email me with your price as I will already have my old head unit which unfortunately have to go back to. Please go easy on the price though if you can, I have to get lots fixed now,,, (lol),,,, thanks again,,,

[migil]

Everyone here who has been through that experience feels your pain. Seeing the glass half full, I'm very glad it wasn't the whole car! I hope everything turns out ok with your insurance company.

I don't know why, but in the rare occasions my previous cars have been vandalized, my mind reeled with sadistic ideas of leaving poisoned booze bottles or hidden rat traps in there just waiting for the next bastard who wants to break a window and steal my stereo.

I wish you better luck with the CD changer than I had: I tried here to get one in good condition at a fair price for quite some time to no avail. Despite my obsession with keeping my VX as original as possible, I had to start doing some research on CD units with MP3/WMA capabilities to eventually replace the stock units.

[WormGod]

Interesting. What insurance company is this? State Farm covered EVERYTHING I had stolen out of my car a couple years ago. As long as I had a reciept to prove I owned it. They replaced a head unit, amps, speaker box, and even a coat that was in the car.

That just sucks man.

reminds me of a story when I lived in NY. My buddy had a crappy little Jetta with no stereo in it. No music at all! Well, we went to Paladium one night and he put a hand written sign in the window on the dash that said "NO RADIO INSIDE". When we came out later, the driver side window was broken. The vandal wrote on the back of the sign "JUST CHECKING". Some people are real jerks.

[Newsman]

Eeeegads....I'll join the chorus....

That is awful. I know it doesn't even compare, but I think I'm having sympathy pains just thinking about someone busting up your baby.

I definately think another NYC area meet is in order once your VX is back up and running!

[SPAZZ]

George...do you need the wiring harness back that goes from stock radio to cd changer??? I still will send you my old changer...even though it only holds like 3 cd.s??? give me a call if you do...ok buddy

Wormgod,
Thats great to here in your case. The name of the insurance company is called Geico. I believe they are in NY only maybe Nerw Jersey too, but not sure. I even showed them my gallery photos with the stereo installed and showed them receipts , but they said I would have had to phoned them to upgrade my premium for and aftermarket system which was of such high quality. I love making those good for nothing insrance payments every month huh, 4 nuthin...

[Heraclid]

Geico is nationwide. I have heard (but it is just hearsay) that once you make a claim they will drop you like a bad habit. I was sideswiped by someone with Geico insurance once, and apparently my mother had heard likewise because she said "serves 'em right, that insurance will drop her now". In fact she has made her dislike for them apparent a few times - I guess I need to ask her why. I'd love to hear more from anyone else with experience dealing with them. I know in my case they gave us the run-around because the stupid cop (well he was - nothing against police officers, but I've had a few ridiculous experiences with 'em) said he couldn't determine who was at fault, did not want to do a report because he said the damage was under $500 (it was $1500!). And this was one of those really obvious ones as far as determining what happened and who was at fault. Plus the damn lady was hoping I'd just go away and she went in and had dinner while I waited for an officer to show up - I had to go get her from her table when he got there. What a way to act like a b****, and if I were the officer that alone would have spoken volumes to me. He wasn't interested in witnesses either, and there would have been many. Luckily I have State Farm and they really go to bat for ya.

Then there was the cop that came over when our cat was shot and actually told my mom he didn't like cats and he'd shoot 'em too if he wouldn't lose his job for it. Say what?! That a-hole should've lost his job for saying it too - what an idiot! And another pulled me over for running a red light when it was green. Plus I was sitting right next to him at the light, knew he was right there... and the moron tells me he thought I was daring him to stop me. Huh?! I pulled over immediately and it was green. Yeah...oooookay... that's what I like to do on my Saturday nights... go around screwing with the cops. Yeah, right. Maybe if he paid attention he'd know it was green too. Still not quite sure what the heck went wrong with his noggin on that one, but no ticket.

Sorry for the rant. I totally respect most police officers who are in it for noble reasons and do a fine job and put it all on the line. But some are on a power trip, too, and I can't stand them.

Oh, and that guy that shot our cat (cat lived by the way)? He was a security guard who had tried like three times to be a police officer.

[Chopper]

Maybe,here's your chance to rethink your interior. Live long enough an' you'll see, all crap, eventually leads to something much better. Let your creativity flow.......You'll feel much better.

This is true!! They dropped me for two claims back in '00 when I owed a Maxima. One was a no fault accident (door open when leaving the garage) and another tiny fender bender. Seems like if your claim amounts supercede your total one year premium, they will drop. I actually think the letter they sent to me, said as much. Maybe GA law allowed them to do that.

Gieco uses all their money to make those stupid commercials. I went with Progressive after that till I moved back to NJ. They were great!!

I'm glad to hear these horror stories about Geico. I will think it over next time my policy is up...
