I know Windzy personally, I gotta say guys I love this forum but after reading some of these posts, no matter what the circumstances were today, keys in it or not nobody deserves to have some freaking drug addicted clown take their car!!!! Let's show some more support here rather then blame the guy for leaving the keys in it and upset him more by talking about whether or not the insurance company will cover the car or try and rip him off. You know all of us have left the keys in a car at one time or another in our own lives!!! We're all here because we love Corvettes and today one of our members suffered a tragic loss. Fortunately nobody got hurt here. Let's help him get past this and be able to once again enjoy Corvette when all the dust settles...

I believe half of CF posters are 12 year olds posing as vette owners. If not many act like it. It's why I don't come over here all that often.

I'm kind of torn... I am sorry about the loss of your vette and I am happy that they caught the guys. I just don't think you should be covered for this because frankly you caused this. Reckless behavior like this is what brings all of our rates up. They should have told you to kick rocks instead of rewarding your poor judgement. Just sayin'.

Thanks too all the people showing there support. It's in the insurance company's hand and I've been told I'm covered.

Dude, don't make such a dick statement then try to justify it with "Just sayin'." Why the hell wouldn't his insurance cover this, even if he did leave the keys in? My insurance covered my roof repairs when it went flying, even though I forgot to latch it. He's caught up on his payments, they're making good on the service he's paid for.

So I'm a dick because I called him out on doing something foolish.. Or is it that you did something equally foolish and you took offense? Go cry in the corner thin skin.

And boom goes the dynamite... He didn't do anything foolish. He didn't go power sliding into the dealership parking lot and crash his Vette into a bunch of cars. He didn't let a drunk friend take it for a spin and end up in a ditch. He didn't wreck it while street racing.

Are you crying because we cause your insurance rates to go up with your perfect driving ass? Out of the pool, n00b. :thumbs:

Point blank period, you were foolish for not checking your latches, he was foolish for leaving his keys in the car. You call that dynamite? Meh...I've had pop rocks burn more than your posts. :lol:

Good boy! But you know, foolish is as foolish does. Making mistakes isn't foolish. Not learning from your mistakes is.

Wow, are you for real? He caused this? Something is definitely wrong with your perspective here. Hopefully your post is just to see how much of a rise you can get out of everyone and not what you really believe. In either case do what your mother should have taught you when you were a kid, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all".

The guy made a mistake by leaving his keys in the car. He didn't give permission for anyone to take his car.

I'm glad to hear his insurance will cover it and hopefully give him a fair price.

If this were any other story on the net you guys would be shaking your heads and you know it. You can't control the actions of others, but you SHOULD do your best to protect yourself and your property..it isn't the job of anyone else but you.

Do you sleep with your doors unlocked? Do you leave your car running with the keys in it when you run in the store for a sec? No? Why not? Because you know it is unwise. Yet you chastise me for pointing that out and not patting the guy on the back saying, "There there?" Pfft.

Not sure what I said would qualify as chastisement, but I have a lousy taste in my mouth for your lack of empathy and your bad taste in stating that his insurance shouldn't even pay him for his loss?

And no I'm not suggesting you do anything of the sort like "patting him on the back and saying, There There" as it is obvious that kindness is not in your personality profile.

Kicking a guy when he's down is just pathetic and helps no one.
