Pac, sorry - my ignorance. Property & casualty is not my background so I know little about it. I worked for 2 weeks at one of those no fault places where they give anyone insurance, but it was a rough area and I left (past Edison Mall) I didn't have a P&C license so I really couldn't do much except take the cash and give people receipts. I couldn't believe how many people had no insurance or had let it lapse and were still driving. Just yesterday a woman crashed into a truck on I-75 and didn't have any coverage at all. (hope she's okay) Also, FL doesn't have a lot of mandatory insurance which is scary. I always have full coverage (I have to, it's financed) but I understand why many people don't have theft. Still, I only pay $80 a month for everything. (collision, bodily injury, liability, property damage, no fault, medical payments, comprehensive, theft, car rental...you can tell I'm cheating by looking at my policy! LOL... [ More ]

<br />Jake, I am sure the latest story in Naples is true. This woman wasn't faking her shock and horror. But when I saw that web site in MN, it looked fake to me. I'm sure the photos of the dog are real, but the story about the woman in a coma saying "take my money" sounds phony. Yes, dogs are considered property. Some places think that about wives.

I hate people that leave their keys in their cars, with their infant kids inside. This is a crime, I know, but not well enforced. I report it almost everytime I see it.

<br />Because animals are considered property, this is just too easy.

I had my car stolen the day after I bought it. I was in small dealership off of old 41 and terry street. I left the keys in the car and went inside. When I came out the car was gone. I should've known better. The cop told me that it's illegal to leave keys in the ignition because a small kid could get in and drive off, and crash.<br /><br />I paid 1,300 bucks for it and had to pay back the 1,500 I promised my friend who loaned me the money to buy it.. 200 bucks interest and no car....sad...lol...

Funny, I had to edit because I couldn't type the breed of dog and it came out "er spaniel." So I used asterisks. :-)
