Car Broken into. What to do?

[Uabassoon]

Thanks for your help. I found a form on the Tucson Police Department webpage so I'm going to fill out the non emergency online reporting form.

Just wanted to say,
"Yes! This is a sign that you should quit smoking!"

My husbands truck window got broken out on Thursday and our cd case with about 100 cd's in it were stolen.... He was pissed. Nobody saw it happen (his truck was parked right in front of his work's office) but thankfully nothing else was taken (he had my video IPOD in the center console). He didn't bother filing a police report and it was $200 to fix it. Our deductible on our insurance is $200 so he just paid out of pocket for it.

It's absolutely horrible what people will do for a case of cd's (or in your case, carton of cigarettes) and I just have to think, karma will get them eventually

Just remember, if you DON'T file a police report, you are giving the perp a free pass to do it to someone else. Even if you don't care about what was stolen, think about the next person the perp might decide to steal from.

USUALLY theft goes against your comprehensive and does not cause your insurance rates to go up.

I would call my insurance agent and ask. It is not the same as filing a claim.

(I learned this when I had my entire car stolen once.... )

Mine got broken into years ago and they tried to steal the radio. They did get the speakers and was trying to get the radio but someone must have come along and scared them. I didn't hesitate, I called the police... I was MAJOR PO'ed!! I had worked 2 jobs for 2 years to buy that car and some lazy so & so wanted to take the radio???!!! Insurance replaced the speakers, report was file with police, nothing ever came of it but it at least was on file!

When I lived in Tucson (three years ago), my car was broken into and we called the police. They never showed up and just sent us a form to fill out. We had about $500 worth of stuff taken as my hubby had sub woofers in the trunk that he never "attached." CDs were also stolen, which was probably why they first broke in in the first place.

I lived in Tucson for five years and it wasn't until the last three/four months before I moved that anything was taken. My old roommate had her car broken into twice in six months in the first apartment I had. It just seems to happen quite frequently there and I'm not sure there is much that can be done.

I hope that you can get everything worked out.
