I mean its pretty tough to watch someone walk away with your hard earned things... I really dont make much and its kinda hard to be able to replace stolen items... It takes me five months to save up enough to buy something nice and someone just takes it in two min... some people say its easier to pay the deductible. But what if I dont have full coverage... Plus its harder to pay five hundred dollars in deductible fees when you got three hundred of loss and damages.. Plus 98% of the time the cops won't show up on time to catch the bad guy.. in some posts it seems like all you can do is just sit there and wait and hope for the cops to show up in time to catch the bad guy, cus if they dont you just got stuck with a broken window to replace and all the stolen items.. Oh and lets hope they didn't break anything else inside your vehicle.. some one mentioned to take either video or picture to show the cops and insurance.. Come on bro its night time how clear can the picture really be.. Unless you walk up to the guy.. Plus if they see the flash they gonna run and leave ... And all you end up with Is a blurry pic and damages to fix... it takes a thief less than a min to take your things do you really feel like you got time to hear the alarm go off or the window, call the cops, get your camera from were ever you got it at get it ready and take a good pic in time.. I think one min is enough time to grab the glock and handle business then call the cops... And by the way guys this is texas, we dont play that b.s over here.. I rather pay lawyer fees and know that justice was served.. Than to pay damages and know that the bad guy is smoking it up with his friends talking about how someone just got jacked.. I guess its also a pride thing,i am willing to go thru the consiquences than to just sit there and take it..
