Digest for misc.consumers.frugal-living@googlegroups.com - 4 updates in 3 topics

A bit less than a month ago a car ran through my yard, knocking dowm a
chainlink fence, damaging a building, etc. I finally got a sheriff report.
Driver unknown. Insurance unknown. Keys were in ignition in car after it
was abandoned in my yard. Car reported stolen hours after 'accident'.
 
My insurance agent tells me car isurance companies are not responsible for
any damage caused by the insured car if stolen. The car was 2014 Dodge
owned by a Mexican woman so was likely insured because it was ptobably
still being paid for.
 
Was the car really stolen or 'borrowed' by an acquaintance or child?
 
So I'm out the repairs - ~$500 - because that is my homeowner's insurance
deductable. It's not worth following up for that much - suing owner,
whatever - I'd probably lose anyway.
 
Evidently the insurance companies are among the 1%. And I'm definitely not!

If that what the insurance agent said, you need to find a new insurance
company.
 
The car has to have liability on it, which covers the owner/main driver, if
it's borrowed to a friend, family member or anyone else including a thief.
 
I think the main problem you have is it's a wash if all you have is $500 in
damages. They won't bother doing a claim if that is your deductable.
 
You do know you pay that deductable no matter who is at fault or what the
circumstances are, right? They can waive it sometimes, usually if both
parties are insured by the same company and one of the parties are at 100%
fault, but that is a coin-toss decision.

Why wait? Do it NOW, asshole, and make the world a better place.
I'll buy the bullet. I guess this must be some of that scintillating
conversation for which Harry was longing, eh?

Now that the Electors have Chosen Trump, Load your GUNS....
Once Trump brings in his Nazis, we may all need to use our guns to end
our own lives, before we get tossed into the ovens....
 
Plan ahead, NOW is the time to make plans to take your own life. Choose
a time and a place to do it, and notify your loved ones to take their
lives too, to avoid being tortured by the Trump gestapo.
