Now, does your insurance premium go up in the future after claiming money after this theft, the way it does if you meet with an accident? (I'm hoping that it doesn't). And if it doesn't, then besides a 2-3 week headache/paper work etc., its really okay right? You get it all back...

This happened in Huntington. No, you're premium doesn't go up, but you do have to pay your deductible. In my case, it was $500, but that's better than having to pay the whole $8K out of pocket.

huntington is generally a nice place but there is a lot of traffic around the train station. I'm not suprised man, with the volume of people and the amount of cars that get parked there things are bound to happen, happy to hear it was resolved next time those dude's come around just call the cops.

out of curiosity, how did the tow truck driver jack up the car to be able to install the temporary wheels? doesn't seem like there's any room for a jack under the car

yeah, but how did he lift it? what did he jack up against?

G35guy84 · 12-14-2009, 10:57 AM

He used the small jack he brought with him and just hoped that the car didn't roll over to the other side.

Go with this and add the optional M-203 grenade launcher. Bullets are for sissies.

Wow, I hope they do serve all 15 years in prison.

I hope this does some justice to you regardless if they were the same thieves or not.

Murderers don't even get that these days.

We've had so many customers with stolen wheels, mostly Maximas but a few Z's. Hopefully it stops now that these guys are locked up!
