I had to find receipts for all my Snap On stuff, all the audio gear I lost etc etc. Their problem was that they couldn't see why a suit and tie guy would need tools. FFS. Now the house has a monitored alarm, two dogs, and someone home most of the time. Did I mention that they tried paying out 10 cents in the dollar at first. AMI, what a bunch of wankers. Now with AA for most everything, and with Classic Cover for the bike (have been for years).

Shite! they ripped you off with two dogs and a monitored alarm, that's worry. Did the alarm go off and did the security monitoring respond?

"Now the house ... "

I read that as after the burglary the alarm + dogs went in.

Correct, as do I.

The dog is the best form of deterent. Alarms are predictable, and easy to quiet... and don't want you for breakfast....

Me too. Had it been "Now, the house..." I would have read it differently.

Kind of like "I helped my uncle Jack off his horse" or "I helped my uncle jack off his horse".

And no fun when your 3 year old figures out she can reach the control panel and which buttons to press to make loud noises.

Only read the 1st page of replies but , she has to pay and let this be a lesson to her, and legally I dont think she has a leg to stand on. Even tho the damage was accidental she has no right to be interfering with your vehicle and must take responcibility for her actions. Being your x's bestie aint going to make your mission any easier , being only 16 you probly have no idea just how well women can form " bitch packs " to apply unfair pressure. Have a good look at your employment contract , there may be something in there about staff parking, the fact that another employee damaged your vehicle at an organised work function may give you some leverage there , and dont let them tell you that because it didnt happen on work premisis its not a work issue . I just had to pay $30 grand in a wrongful dismissal suit where at an end of contract pissup this arsehole got pissed and repeatedly groped one of the girls there so we sacked him but because it was a work do ( at a pub ) and we supplied the piss .... It was all our fault . the fact that he was subcequently convicted of indecent assult didnt make a shit of difference
go for the jugular

I wrote - "now the house has a monitored alarm and two dogs" - these were added after the house got ripped off...

One dog is cute and kind of nice. The other one is a little less nice, but still kind of cute. She sometimes scares people, like this one teenager who had a small attitude adjustment - he pissed himself (not figuratively, but literally) when Roxie cornered him. I guess she is big for a Rottie...

So 18 pages later, what is the outcome of that bitch who broke your shit?

PS: Hi Mike, way to leave us before the twisty bits yesterday!

I get the feeling we won't learn what happened. Jaymzw hasn't posted in over a month.

He was mocking youngbiker16 only a few days ago.

Hey Guys,

Forgot i never tied up this thread,

I do frequent KB a fairbit but not so much posting,

Basically the bike got assesed after newyears in mid January and was fixed by the end of the month, I got it back on the 28th i think.

Since then i recieved a couple of abusive phone calls from the girls parents calling me all sorts of names, but my old man got on top of that quite quickly. They wernt going to pay excess either but they finally did. A lot of you were right about the price especially of painting, it ended up costing me around the 8-900 dollar mark all up!!!!

I still have to put up with the girl on my shift occasionally but the rest of the management team usually deal with her.

In hindsight (yes i like to think i learnt from my pissing around) I have learnt that i pay my insurance company for a reason and that when given all the correct information they do a very effective job! In future if i come across a sticky situation like this again i will simply call my insurers and let them deal to it. However the next claim for a motorbike will only be when i drop it because NO-ONE SITS ON MY BIKE NOW!

Sorry for not posting about this, thought i had!
