nice that you're taking this all so well.
last winter someone stole a bunch of stuff out of my jeep including my stereo. When i went to replace it, the dude tried to sell me one of those stereos that would only work in my car. yeah right...what a scam. pay more for it so that the guy who is stealing it can't use it....too bad no one's gonna know that until after the fact. total scam imho.
and for ins. company haters. while i've been jerked around once or twice, my home owners ins. paid off quite quickly and w/very minimal hassle on the items that were stolen. guess i had my ducks in a row or something
