i have been reimbursed for expensive stuff taken out of my car under my auto policy. i have usaa, so not sure if normal insurance companies do this, but it's not as ridiculous as some are suggesting.

I wasn't sure about that either.
I had stuff taken out of my car on a break-in a long time ago and my car-insurance rep asked it was worth more than $500 and it wasn't.
So I guess with my policy I would have gotten some of it back if it was worth $500.

Definitely worth asking about and then trying to file a claim if you have any chance.
Although in my heart of hearts I really don't think the insurance company should have to pay for the OP's stupidity.

There certainly is a chance of recovery, but I'm going to continue to laugh at it anyhow.

Wow man, I wouldnt even leave my wallet with $100 in my car overnight. Thats just retarded.

My SUV had gotten broken into (a few months ago) and my car insurance (Geico) did not cover the items- but my Renter's Insurance (Geico) did. Yeah, weird- but true.

Thank God for that- $2,300 in items stolen. $1,800 check cut. I had a $500 deductible.

I now have a $700 Clifford alarm system installed. I can "talk" to my SUV up to a mile away and know what's going on. I also enjoy the remote start. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
