As Otto would say: "Aaaaaassssshooooooooooooooole!"
Somebody ripped off my driver's side mirror last night while my car was parked on the street (in front of my neighbor's house, the one who works for the police department). Didn't hit the car and break it off accidentally--there was no other damage to the car that wasn't there already; they ripped the entire housing off, kept the exterior, the glass, and the mechanical parts and threw the remainder under my car. To say I'm pissed off would be an understatement. I guess it's easier to steal parts of someone else's car than it is to go to the f'ing junkyard.
Cool, Fairfax County lets you file reports online. I doubt it's worth me calling the insurance company about it to file a claim though, given that my deductible is higher than I suspect the repair bill will be and I'm looking to switch agents in the very near future anyway since AIG are also jerks.
Yeah, so that's how my day started. Hope yours is better.

was to think "oh ho ho, you haven't asked the dealer for an estimate, have you?"
The Brandywine junkyards have their catalog online. Their database is occasionally confused as to where a car actually IS, mind you, but at least it'll give you an idea what's available and how much it costs.

Not at all. =) Since I'm shopping for a new insurance company, I'd like to avoid filing my first ever insurance claim during the process if I can at all help it. Now if I thought I could legitimately get the repair place to set me up with a heated mirror during the repair, that might be a different story. Given that I didn't have them to start with, I'm thinking "not happening", even though clearly AIG has no problem throwing cash around.

What a lousy way to start your day, in any case. (hug)

(Anonymous) 2008-12-12 06:04 am (UTC)(link)for a total of 130. Could maybe be done
DIY but I looked at it and it didn't look
possible so we had the dealer install.
In the old days these things were welded
to the fender. You couldn't get them off
without s torch.
