Car stolen, need help with questions

[Ranger353]

Its a property crime. A cold property crime. Hard to justify pulling resources from active crimes against persons for a cold property crime. Get to the bank TODAY and freeze that checking account, be sure to take a copy of the police report with you, the bank should waive any fees with opening a new account and closing the old one. They should also give you some relief from the fraudulent check(s). Good luck.

Why would you leave a check book in the car ?
Oh wait, you said the wife, I have to constantly get onto the wife about leaving her purse in her car that is parked in the garage. And her reasoning to this is "the garages closed......"

Does auto insurance covers items stolen that were in the car? Or your property insurance if it was on your property at the time of theft? Would that cover the stuff and checks and whatnot?

Was the car found near 88th and Washington?

Don't count on the police for anything for this type of crime. I have a friend who had his car recovered from a person's GARAGE, with a ratchet and the license plate sitting on the hood. Police still did nothing.

No, contents of a vehicle are covered by home owners or renter's policies. Auto doesn't cover stuff that is not permanently attached to the vehicle.

It sounds like identity theft mitigation is your first order of business. Your accounts should be changed immediately, and the fraudulent checks reported to your bank. Is your registration still in the car? I would be a lot more concerned about credit and fraudulent accounts created at this point.

Cops won't do shit, take proof to the bank and get a new account number. This is why people can't have nice things, because they live in cities.

Why haven't you stopped those checks with your bank? You're naive when it comes to criminals and how one "gets away" with it.

They were an old checkbook, we did not know they were in there. They are stopped now. Thank you for your insightfulness

I think it actually was recovered right by there, close to there in a king supers parking lot.

The registration was out of the car, it was absolutely ridiculous all the trash that was in it. We keep the car is pretty clean, I am not lying when I say there is at least six bags of other people stuff in there. Prison letters, two or three drug pipes, I even saw a hypodermic needle in the vehicle,not to mention all the stolen stuff six car stereos and speakers, an entire bag of kids toys, 4 or 5 car seats. The person that wrote the check was a woman, everything is canceled now we have our accounts frozen. It's just unreal thatwe are being treated as the criminals when the actual thief is free to go
