Unfortunately, your insurance company will not cover all of the costs associated with a loss due to the theft. Insurance will only pay for your car's value at the time it is stolen, leaving you responsible for new car taxes, fees and the insurance company's deductible.
For example:- Replacement vehicle costs (down payment, sales
tax, & miscellaneous fees)........$1,000 - $2,000 - Deductibles....................................$250 - $1,000
- Payoff deficiencies.....................$1,000 - $2,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Total out-of-pocket costs...........$2,250 - $5,000
- In U.S. and Canada, vehicles are stolen at a rate of one every 19 seconds
- Stolen from grocery stores, shopping malls, & parking garages every day
- An experienced car thief can steal a car in less than one minute
- Thieves can cut through "The Club" in less than 40 seconds
"Car thefts in Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue up 20 percent" - Source : www.komonews.com
Car theft rates in Seattle, Tacoma and Bellevue spiked almost 20 percent in 2010, the National Insurance Crime Bureau said, and the area is now ranked 13th in the nation for car thefts instead of 37th. The Northwest Insurance Council says the statistics should serve as a warning to local drivers.
"It actually costs every one of us when you see auto theft rise," said council president Karl Newman. Of the more than 16,000 cars missing from Seattle Metro area last year, 15-year-old Hondas and Toyotas were the most sought-after vehicles.
"They want your car specifically because it has the right engine or the right fenders, or whatever," said Washington State Patrol Sgt. Dave Bolton. "They have a car that needs those parts. They'll steal your car to remove the parts and put them on their car."
The insurance council said prior to the recent spike, the rate of car thefts was on a steady decline thanks to newer cars and better security systems. The King County Prosecutor's Office says the sudden spike might be due, in part, to the recent release of a few prolific thieves from prison.
Spokane now ranks fourth in the nation for car thefts.
