Dammit- Follow-up…

In discussions with ‘various’ LEOs, apparently these little f**kers are working out of DC…

Which is about 3-4 minutes up I-395 from where I live.  They ‘tend’ to hit within a couple of blocks of I-395 and even if police are called, they can get back into DC before the responding officer can get a BOLO out.  

And apparently, surprise surprise, there is NOT a lot of cooperation on the other side of the 14th Street Bridge…

On the bright side, they got video this time, and have tags from both the car used to carry the strippers, and the truck that was going in an picking up the stolen stuff (but I’m betting both will turn out to be stolen). 

I do have to give kudos to State Farm Insurance though…

They have done everything quickly to get my truck fixed and back on the road.  Within 2 hours of the initial report at 0700, I had authorization to take it in, and a rental car. They were even willing to pay for a tow if I wasn’t comfortable driving it to the dealer.  

AND my rates won’t go up either!!!

  1. Foe:
    Are these the teams hitting job-sites & pay & apartment garages, taking tires, tools, equipment, trailers, etc.? It was totally on the radio… Who says the spirit of American entrepreneurship is dead?

  2. Good to hear some things are going well . . . .

    Just wondered, do you have an enclosed place to park your SUV – garage with a door or something??

  3. Dang – I missed the initial report. Something about vehicles right now. ML, Rev’s wife, you. Sorry it happened, glad the insurance company is speedy.

  4. Carload of strippers?

    Bad, bad girls
    What cha you gonna do?

  5. Russell- They are…

    Rev- yep!

    eia- Supposedly ‘secure’ parking garage… sigh…

    PH- Me too!

    Murph- Yeah, three at least…

    Gerry- I’d MUCH prefer that kind!!!

    ADM- Yep and yep!

  6. So much for the “secure” part. Although it’s possible that the people who are supposed to be securing it are part of the problem.

    Even though State Farm will pay to fix it, I don’t think they have an “Aggravated as all hell” part of their policy.

  7. TOTW- Yeah, probably followed somebody in, then stole an opener from the first car they hit… sigh… And no they don’t do aggravated…

  8. The first thing I regretted about moving to Florida was losing my State Farm insurance and having to go with Allstate.

  9. I hope that you are not blagarding inner city youths from Washington DC (the nation’s capital) for simply providing for their drug habits at your expense.
