watching lost till 2am i went downstairs trying to sleep but couldn't. So staying up finishing up some work till 4am i hear dogs barking but think it's nothing going on. Then doorbell rings and my brother answers and tells me that someone tried taking my rims. My inital reaction was what!! I was awake this whole time... and thought maybe they just started to take them... i go out and 3 rims are gone and one is just hanging on.. cinder blocks are underneath the frame (thank goodness it wasn't touching the side strips.) Turns out my neighbor called and i'll have to give them a present for looking out. I'm sure if cops didn't come any longer the two guys (i think they were in hs or college) would have been gone and i'll be buying rims out of my own pocket. I went to discount tires and got them retorqed and now i have questions. (i should have tooken photos of my car as it was shocking to see someone can do this in front of your house)..
1. They totally stripped my colored lug nuts and I realize despite the nuts having special key socket they still took it. O Will insurance cover this? I have the police that recorded all this that have been stripped and missing items.. case report.
2. Will insurance go up if i report this?
2. Should i get this car tuned at a dealer? The front left disk brake was actually touching the ground and suspension in back looked bit off..
if yes, i'm thinking insurance won't cover this. (might have to get the 20,000 -30,000 mile tune up service)
3. Rims probally got bit scratch marks due to mishandling i believe... ... cops would just roll the rims and face it flat on its' face....probally cops fault i don't know but i don't think insurance will cover this also? (i heard people getting there cars key'd never got reimbursed etc..)
4. Cops asked me if i wanted to press charges.. what does this actually mean? he mentioned i have to go to court and be present.. i don't know why... I know everyone makes mistakes and if insurance covers all this i don't really don't know if pressing charges is necessary...
I should start moving everything in my garage and put my car there or get a high end alarm system....
