Go with Cisco as well. Great guy, and great shop!

 

file a bad faith claim with the BBB. that usually helps you receive payout very quick. Allstate doesn't want to have a bad mark through BBB and if it goes through BBB and they dont pay, BBB puts them on a watch list for 5 years.. that's what i did with my type r and paid within a week.

 

GET A LAWYER.

scumbags. someone could tape the window and break it with a tiny piece of broken ceramic sparkplug material. that alone could explain "no glass". offer to demo it on the adjuster's car.

 

how could they deny you the claim? wow terrible didnt you have a alarm on the car with a imoblizer?

 

Guess i will follow this up with a BBB claim, but i dont want it to jeopardize what im doing with my lawyer.

No alarm on my car, never thought for one second it would ever get stolen. It was surreal walking out and wondering WTF happened to my car?

 

I thought you already tried with a lawyer and it failed. It's almost been 2 years now and they're giving you the same BS from the beginning. Even after this letter, they can still claim that the letter is false statement or something and it'll continue to carry on. I would definitely go with reporting this to BBB as they don't want a dirty record.

 

I would like you to find your car but on a different note how do you explain that someone took the car?

Well, it could have been a towing truck. I just don't see how someone can steal the car otherwise considering that in order to start the car you have to have a programmed key.
I can understand why the insurance company is being hesitant to believe it. You should need to make a complaint.

The other thing that I can think of is someone actually grabbing another set of keys and you not knowing but this is just me saying. The history sounds very irregular to me since the beginning.

All i gotta say is bro good luck. hope you get your money worth.

 

ECU swap.
Swap the stock ECU with a different ECU with a disabled immobilizer. The car will start right up, regardless of the tune. Of course, if it was heavily modded where it needed a tune to start up and idle, then yeah, it would be a struggle to steal it.

Even then, majority of these Evo thieves must have a flat bed truck. I've heard of owners cars being stolen without them hearing their cars turn on.

 

You should call that black guy from the commercials, there's just something so trusting about him I don't know... Just kidding man but in all seriousness I really hope you get this worked out and get a good payout because no one deserves to go through what you have. Good luck

 

Holy ****. Alarm is the FIRST mod an Evo needs. I wish I saw that more on all these "what should my first mod be?" threads.

I was lucky. My wakeup call was losing my OEM Licensed Leather Recaros. It was cheaper to replace them with Genuine recaros so I actually got a small upgrade for my $500.00 deductible. And of course, a Viper 5901 to go with them out of my pocket.

 

what i dont understand is, if they truly feel that you stole your own car, why offer $5k for it?

heck all car thieves should do this then, steal their own cars and claim it in their insurance and stil have their cars and still get $5k on top.

 

sending you something on Monday.

Screw the BBB they have no teeth, what did the Illinois department of insurance tell you?

 

Maybe they were hoping he would take the 5k and give up?
