GPS takes me down Lake St. and this dude swerves around a car coming towards me as I'm making a left turn. I end up overcorrecting, hitting the concrete pillar of the EL at a low rate of speed and knocking the bumper off.

Update! Car is stolen! My hatred grows.

Dropped $200 for OnStar. Car seems to be in Markham. Anyone ever been to Markham?

It's probably down the street at Arnies. How was it stolen after you gave it to an insurance approved shop?

I'm on my way

Tow truck driver was from the company Allstate gave me. Driver even called my number. Allstate verified it was them. Car gets towed away and never makes it to the lot. Allstate then says the original tow truck company never picked up the vehicle. Talking to my body shop, the guy said this is the third or fourth of these cases with Allstate Roadside in the past few months.

tow truck company desperately hires anyone with a neck tatoo. neck tatoo tips his boys off when a valuable car needs a tow. when neck tatoo shows up with his truck, the car is already gone. by the time he reports it the car is already in 1000 pieces and you will never see it again. they have your cocaine and viagra too.

fast forward a few years and your body shop guy is arrested for breaking down thousands of cars in a secret garage in the back parking lot. when he told you about the allstate claims, your car was behind the door on your left. in pieces, but it was there. the onstar module was the first thing to be stripped and sent by itself to markham.

Ladies and gentlemen this was Ike’s most accurate post ever.

you should have just abandoned the car and got a new one.

I used to work with a guy that would pay to have his vehicle stolen and torched so he could get a new one every few years.

It's pretty this time of year.

Its day 7 of this and now it will go through the long weekend. The guy that has my car won't release it directly to me, only if Allstate pays him directly. He's asking for $4,500 and the price goes up each day. Because of the holidays, my agent hasn't been successful with getting an adjuster for the claim. Went to the Chicago police, they can't do anything since its a civil matter. Same with Markham police. Called a lawyer and he basically said the insurance is on the hook right now, but when the amount gets higher they will probably just drop me instead of paying it. Essentially my car has been legally stolen.

Towing obviously has its issues particularly in cook county. How though do you have to have another thought of worry at all after an Allstate dispatch truck hooked up your car?

Are you saying a bad guy towing company took your car, admits to having it, gives you a price and that is legal?

I haven't filed an insurance claim in my life.
