Dont' leave your car parked in a public area. Pages: 12

NickD on Mon October 23, 2006 11:08 AM User is offline

Left my DeVille parked at a mall parking lot, was plenty of side space. Come out an hour later and the drivers side rear view mirror is cracked. Some red paint on the door, so figured some donkey pit pulled along side, slam open his door, didn't really dent my DeVille door, but hit the glass on my sideview mirror.

Of course no note or anything like that and the parking space next to me was empty. Was surprised all I had to do remove the glass was get my fingers behind it and pull it out. Ha, thought about finding another 91-95 DeVille and trading them, but found a replacement for 12 bucks instead. Still aggravates the heck out of me, oh, if I only could catch these bastards, what a year.

Daughters ZX2 was hit in a parking lot tearing up the front bumper and smashing a 40 buck parking lamp. Only spent 60 bucks for materials and the best part of a weekend repairing that.

My Cavalier was rear ended in a parking lot, was surprised that my comprehensive doesn't cover that, had to be covered on my higher deductible collision insurance, but since I never had a claim before, my insurance company waved the deductible. Was a $750.00 bill for them.

Daughter-in-law had the front fender smashed by a white truck while parked, that fender is banged up so bad, not worth fixing, estimate is $550.00, but she is carrying 500 buck deductible so not worth filing a claim. Start filing claims and your rates go up.

Son was hit by an uninsured illegal, now if that was you or me, would have the law down our necks taking away our homes to pay for the damage, they won't even press charges against this illegal immigrant, so son was to fight it personally at his own expense. His damage is estimated at $2,100.00.

Just don't leave your car parked in any public parking space is the only lesson to be learned here.

This is what you have been wanting all along! Just a few people here to cook your burgers, cut your lawn or wash your clothes. You got what you asked for so now your son has to pay the price.

Fight him at his own expense! You have got to be kidding me. What in the world do you expect to get form an illegal even if you won a judgement? The illegal would just get another SS card and ID and you would never see a dime of the judgement.

Ha, not sure what others pay for these services, my wife asked some for general house cleaning, they want more per hour than what she is earning.

Yeah, I advised my son to drop it, just chasing good money after bad, he did have the option of getting payment for his uninsured motorist plan, but didn't want to pursue that either. Since he has been working in the auto insurance field, already knows he will be paying back much more than that in increased premiums whenever you apply for any kind of claim.

Makes a guy wonder why we pay a lot of money for insurance.

I hear that, fighting with my medical insurance right now. Have a co-pay of $ 20.0 and $ 40.00. Even my primary doctor is charging me $ 40.00 for an office visit. The plan says that is not correct. Plus they are only covering about 2/3rds of the tests being done. So on top of paying a higher co-pay I get a 1/3rd of the test bill also. We moved from a HMO to a PPO for better coverage. I need to get a tan and a fake SS card so I can get free medical.

Heck I got an easier way just shoot you an illegal and steal his fake ID and fake SS card then your good to go, you don't need any tan they will never notice as long as the last name is Mexican on the ID's that is all that's required.

That's a little harsh! I just want to abuse the system like so many others do! After all I believe in equal rights!

Ok then just tell him to give you his ID that you are an immigration officer and you will turn him in if he don't is that better?

Heck that won't work either. Good chance the illegal can run faster then I can these days. I think going to the swap mart and getting all the papers I need for $ 15.00 American dollars would work the best.

Seems a bit out of balance, didn't know we had a cap on our dental insurance, wife goes in for a root canal, less than two hours, but she had to work 1 1/2 weeks to pay off that bill. No more than a couple of hours between her and our daughter at the clinic for non-guaranteed work, and that was well over two weeks pay for that bill and she is making pretty good money.

Family health plan today costs about $1,200 per month that is about 300 bucks more per month than the gross income of a minimum wage job. Back even in 1975 a full nondeductible family plan was costing me 78 bucks a month, ha, thought that was way too much as only cost 35 bucks a day in the hospital. Today that exact same room costs over 3,000 bucks a day.

Today, doctors don't treat sickness, just wellness advice, don't smoke, don't eat, get more exercise kind of stuff, if you are sick, have to go to either urgent care or emergency. Just walking in the door at emergency costs you $450.00 to see some kid doctor that barely knows the difference between an aspirin and a salt tablet, experienced doctors don't like to work at nights or weekends.

Having three doctors in the family gives a different side to the story, have to wait 6-9 months before they get payment and spend more time dealing with the insurance companies than treating patients. Insurance companies do nothing more than to add about 100% to the bill, but you got to have insurance because one family illness can lose all of your savings and even your home and possessions. We have the worse medical system in the industrialized nations, but nothing is done about it.

Ha, we should import our medical from China, if a doctor there doesn't cure a patient, doesn't get paid.

"Just don't leave your car parked in any public parking space is the only lesson to be learned here. "

We've come a long way from the original post. Problem is, I can never find those private parking spaces.

Ha, in this off topic section, we try our best to get way off topic even under a specific post title. Suppose the next accessory we need is a closed circuit TV system to catch these guys in the act.

Got my new mirror in, have the option to paste over the old mirror or to break the old mirror out, probably will break the old mirror out.

Heard about a new movie being released this weekend called, "Crossing Arizona", some 3,000 Mexicans were found dead in the desert over the last eight years. Compared this with the deaths with the Berlin wall that was just a small handful compared to this tragedy. Some blame NAFTA for this movement of people. Just seems weird that many of our jobs went down there and the people are coming up here to find work. If they had any brains, would go to China instead.

It's not a tragedy Nick. They selected the path of crossing our borders illegally. What is a tragedy is the corrupt Mexican government which could care less about its people. Heck Nick the Mexican government promotes the illegal crossing of its poorest into America! After all why should Mexico take care of its poor when America will do it for them!Does anyone think these people would be coming to America if their own government was looking out for them and providing them jobs? My lord Nick if so much business has been shipped down to Mexico why in the world would they need to come to America. Maybe it is the fact that the Mexican business owners pay their people very low wages and are corrupt themselves.

Now since our Government have gotton off there tails and started to do something, hopefully this will send a message to all illegals that now this will be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.

Well I don't really know that their doing anything other than what I have heard on the news, I cannot personally verify that they are doing anything, but I thought they were at least making an effort now but that depends on if you listen to CNN or Fox.

Well, the government could put up No Trespassing signs. Another blame to the mass flow of illegals is that corporations are offering them jobs. I am not getting in the middle of this, but feel they wouldn't come here if they didn't get jobs and many benefits. Learned that I can receive my SS check in all but a few countries that I wouldn't want to go to anyway, like North Korea, would be nice to find a place to live where the government doesn't take more than it back in taxes.

Decide to put my broken mirror, has an electric defrost, didn't know my Caddy had electric defrosters in the side view mirrors, I am so happy!

Got it hot enough with a heat gun to carefully pull off an aluminum foil cover from the rear with a heater element glued onto that and used weatherstrip glue to attach it to the new glass and silicon glue to attach that to the plastic backing case. Aftermarket Motormite replacement glass was exact same size. Actually made by Dorman, Ha guys on the bay are trying to sell these same mirrors for 32 bucks with shipping, got mine for a local jobber for eleven bucks, wonder if I could get rich by doing that?

Still would like to find the person that broke my mirror, maybe in the afterlife if there is one.

Well they said they wanted a fence, but failed to fund much of it. Only thing that makes any sense to me is put our troops on the border. They want to give some work permits out fine. Just have the applicants have a sponsor here in the US. All others can go through the immigration process we now have. If they catch an illegal like the one that crashed Nick's sons vehicle. Put that individual on a government bus and ship him back home. I'll fund a program like that! Heck we could just use part of the millions being used now in social services for the illegals. I also agree American companies or individuals which hire illegals should be held accountable!

Something isn't right, son was hit in Madison, called the police and they refused to give that illegal a ticket for running a stop sign. DMV won't do anything to help him but gave him a hard time.

I know that I need psychiatric help for being paranoid, a major employer of illegals is Land O' Lakes, the same outfit that controls the EPA in my state, and perhaps they also own our government. Bit perhaps, just a coincidence. Land O' Lakes is buying up private farms and diaries like crazy, and looking for cheap help to run them

This is the main reason I have a issue with the illegal. We are side stepping our laws because people will not address the issue. Do you think you or I could run a red light or stop sign and not be issued a ticket? Maybe if it were in the middle of the night and an accident had not happened. So what happens now, your son pays to have his vehicle fixed or files a claim on his insurance. Either way he is paying for the damage an illegal created, short term or long term! This happens daily in Phoenix. Usually they cause the accident and then just run away before the other person has even figured out what has happened.

I have no issue with anyone trying to better their life. But to have a blind eye to the issues we face as a nation and immigration is beyond me.

Beats the heck out of me how an illegal can get social security benefits without a valid social security card. Had to bring in tons of documentation to get an SS card for my wife and daughter and most of it was from the USCIS. And with SS, if you don't pay anything in, you don't get anything back. Ha, even if you pay in a small fortune, only get a fraction of that back.

Ha, most of the people I know that speak English, really don't know the language.

Got my mirror all glued together with the defroster glued on, tested, all I have to do is go out and snap it back in, LOL. Two slip screws for the motor drive went in easy, but uses like a plastic U-joint with one bar snapping into the motor drive, the vertical member into the backing plate of the mirror. I couldn't snap that in to save my soul.

I finally got a sharp knife and cut a mild V where the cross bar snaps in, added some dielectric grease, and used my heat gun to warm the plastic before I could snap it back in without breaking the plastic. Could tilt the mirror just enough with a flashlight in bright daylight to make sure the cross bars were properly seated.

Twenty hours of work so far just to get back to square one, made the comment to my wife, would like to get my hands on these people and put them through twenty hours of torture. Should advertise these real expensive cars as targets, not means of freedom like they do.
