****ty deal, hope things work out for the best.



isn' that insurance fraud?
Fraud? :screwy: guess I committed fraud too when the insurance paid me $7k.

I've been in the same situation man, really sucks. Hope you get it back!
 
If you claim more damage on a car then what really happened? Fraud.
If you claim more in medical expenses? Fraud.
If you falsely value your vehicle I would assume that'd be fraud too.

However, if its YOUR insurance company that put that estimate on it, then no its obviously not fraud, which mqktandy and Ash pointed out. Lets keep the thread ontopic.
 
We paid $20,000 plus $3,000 in interest.

The truck was just over a year when we got it(new was about $30,000).

Then just a few months later a new one dropped to $20,000-$22,000.

If you have insurance this could be a good thing so don't get down. My truck was stolen night after thanksgiving and ended up being awesome. I made 4500 on it from insurance, they almost always price out vehicles way above what u payed for it

Did you car have a salvage title after you got paid? Or was it more than 4500?


Hope you find your truck. My cousins car got stolen on new years eve.

You can't "value" your own vehicle. The insurance company does that. Would be nice if we could though! Of course, any aftermarket parts would add value to the vehicle, but most insurance companies require that you show proof of purchase. And even then, some companies require you get supplemental coverage for any aftermarket parts. My insurance will cover up to $1k in aftermarket parts before requiring supplemental coverage.
 
With the type of insurance I do, the insured can put an ACV on there unit.. that's the max limit available.. don't ask me about personal lines though...
 
well to be honest your in texas and its crazy down there not saying michigan isnt...but sry dude hope you get it back
 
I am going against the grain here but I hope you never see it again. Many times after they are stolen, you really dont want them back, you think you do now but let them hand you a beat up turd that drives like ***** back instead of the truck you remember....not fun.
Get a new one and plan on the $5.00 gas we keep hearing about, it may be a blessing.

Yeah but I thought that the police vehicle had to be near enough the stolen vehicle in order for the system to alert them......Hope you get it back,I've been there.

That is partially true. I think the farthest I picked up a hit was about 4 miles. The more Lojak cruisers on the road the high the probability your car will be found fast. Major Police agency usually have several working all the time. The system works great. Better in someways than Onstar because its impossible to find the antenna unless you are familiar with the installation process. Even the owner of the vehicle doesn't know where or how the system is installed. The only caveat is if the car is found occupied their is a 70/30 chance of a chase and that's what you don't want because the usually don't end well. Onstar is able to slow the vehicle and cut power to raise the probability of the vehicle not getting wrecked.
I took a report for a really nice 2000 Jeep Cherokee one night. i was hoping the theft would just park it so the guy could get his truck back in one piece. The owner only had liability. Three hours later the Jeep was totaled in a wreck. The theft hit three parked cars and rolled it fleeing. Th theft got caught but the owner still lost out.
 
If someone stole my baby ( 72 silverado with a modified 454. She pushes about 700 hp and 650 torque. = D) I would want her back even if she was totaled. It's the senimental value more than anything. Especially since my truck is stock ( except the engine). Stock paint, stock wheels, everything except the engine and it only has a few mods.
