For security cameras, we had been discussing installing two in good places, but is there such thing as a security system that only records 24 hours then rewrites it? So I don't have to worry about it filling up but when I need to retrieve footage I can easily?


Gah I don't know why people are accusing me of doing this . There would be no need for me to wreck my own car. I save up to get what I need

Just added the pictures to the original post... But I guess our backyard is very accessible. You can see the garage's rear window in some of the pictures.
The land stretches down about 8-10 houses and has a long trail directly behind our house leading to far out of town.
Just in case some of you thought I lived in town or something...

Claims adjuster came today. Was amazed that headlights, wheels, and tires cost so much on this.

She said she's gonna see if they can send the wheels out so they don't have to replace them.

Question: If the wheel's paint is scratched off, and the metal is scratched, are they going to be able to just repair the wheel and repaint it?

I just don't want insurance to leave me with f'd wheels

Alrighty. What exactly is sand-beading? Is that just to remove the current coating? Because the wheel itself (metal) is scratched hard. Could they just resurface it somehow and re-powdercoat? Or is it not worth the time, labor, and money to them?

It was obvious they were trying their best to cause irreversable damage... I'm sure with a normal pair of scissors they could just "saw" an etch into the wheels without a problem.

sorry bud, no new wheels as planned

they can certainly repair the scratch damage on the wheels; you won't even be able to tell the difference when it's repaired--assuming the wheel shop is skilled enough to do it

Hey Bro I bought my CCTV system from homesecuritystore.com My setup only records when it senses motion per camera. Also it overwrites itself once the HD is filled up. I havent had to touch it in 4 months since installing it. This has to be the best upgrade for my house and Z.
