yea the walmart i went to did have cameras. and the funny thing was that my car was parked in the 3 spot in front of the main entrance right next to the light post with the security camera. the investigator told me that the video tape is under investigation and that they spotted not one person but three different people who did a 360 around my car. but the stupid thing was that none of the security guards ever approached any of the 3 suspects. but its all good cuz im using that against walmart security at court.

 

♫ Nationwide is on your siiiiiiide . . . ♫

 

I don't think you can get Walmart with anything because they are not held responsible in any way! I know everyone has seen those signs in the parking lot that say things like, "park here at your own risk, if sh*t happens it ain't our problem, not responsible for anything"! Whether you read them or not they still apply. "Not knowing isn't an excuse!"

Anyways, good job getting a lawyer, private investigator, and stuff to help you out. Make sure you make Nationwide pay out their a** for everything and then some....

 

Hmm- Does your purchase agreement/ finacing state was was included in the sale. ie, number of keys?

 

After they pay you out you should drop them. Thats bs that they would put u thru this. I have esurance and so far they have been great. Some a**hole tried to steal my prelude and failed but....... they managed to cause 4000 in damage. within a week i had a check for the repairs. I kno its not the same as gettin it stolen but the service was on point.

 

oh yea.. it stated that i was given 3 keys total. 2 keys with alarm remote and 1 service key. and i had all 3 of them when i met up with the investigator. All i can say about nationwide is that they are full of s*** and im never going to insure my cars with them. btw i just got my call from them and they are going to pay for the whole damage on the car and they also giving me some extra cash for the hassle they put me through and today im going back to the body shop to tell the mechanic to start ordering all my new parts, and to start putting my baby back together only now with a fresher new look!!!!!

 

People always make fun of me for putting my club on my Z....I don't trust anyone!!!! I know a club won't stop anyone but sure will sure slow that a$$ down. Anyways....congrats on the outcome.

 

thanx alot guys for all of your support and advice. now im getting a momo steering wheel with a quick release hub just to be on the safe side.

 

Ive got a "The Club" just in case I have to park in rough neighborhoods. Otherwise Viper w/ prox sensor is all i've needed so far.

 

yea when i bought my used 350z it came with another key that did not belong to me! so im guessing i have a key to a 350z but i would never do anything like that even if i knew whos car it belonged to

 

unfortunately im going to have to disagree with you. Nationwide has always been great to me, and i would never think about switching.

 

thats coo that they are finally gonna take care of u . Do u have any idea of when you will get her back

 

it should be about a month or so..but this time i should be getting her back with a full Veilside 3 kit installed and fully painted lemans sunset and with some 19' maxsport gold 5 spoke rims on her. oh yea i know im gonna be happy getting her back. the first thing i do when i get her back is get that viper alarm system everyone has been telling me about and also get a kill switch on her. ill send pics to everyone who wants to see her when i get her back.!!!!!!!!!!! once again thanx to all you guys for your advice and help....

 

Question 350niZmo, if they're claiming that it had a key in the ignition, have you seen said key yet, does it match the others you have???????? You get where I'm going with this???!!! Generally all the keys are matching. I had 4 sets originally with my car, all look exactly the same.

 

Damn u came out on top of this one. Congrats and be sure to post some pics after u get her back.

 

haha im cracking up at step 2

 

Sorry to hear about this and wishing you the best of luck. They WILL end up paying; it will just take some work in the beginning.

On a related note, Wired magazine ran a story last year about insurance companies refusing to pay for stolen cars equipped with transponder-based keys if those cars were later found with miles on them but without any damage to the steering column. Their claim was that since the cars could not have been driven without the proper key, it proves that there was no theft and the owner is attempting to commit fraud. The article listed countless real world examples of people who have been screwed over this way by Geico and others who are stuck making payments on cars they no longer have. Many still had cases pending in courts with computer scientists and ex-cons as their expert witnesses testifying that transponders can certainly be defeated by the right crooks.

Thankfully, State Farm (my insurer) wasn't listed in any of the examples but I was spooked enough to call them and get assurance (take that for what it's worth!) that they don't operate this way.

 

ive got a clifford alarm (with some pretty nice upgrades) for 500$. In addition i also have an autolock attached to my clutch. If the bastard is really desperate, he'd have to tow my car in the middle of the night, with my alarms going off and must be done within 2 minutes. after 2 minutes, I would be beating him down with my breaker-bar. good luck with that.

 

keep us posted! i hate insurance companies

 

yo fu*k the insurance companies man. yo i feel u, they are a$$holes. damn man same **** happened to me when i got in an accident with ma Civic Si, car i had before Z, and it took them like 2 months to take action. i called them like everyday. they lucky i was lazy enough not to sue them or som ****. haha
