I am not going to fight for something I could care less about that is fully insured to boot.

I will call the police and testify if they are caught.

But nothing is worth getting killed or permanently injured for that keeps me from getting home to my kids.

You must be wealthy. Because my car is worth my life, as is the money in my wallet. It is all I have, living on a fixed income, I cannot replace the car, and I can’t replace my money. It makes a difference if you can work to earn more, or you can no longer work. I would kill to protect my money and my car for sure.

EXACTLY, I spent hours hundreds of hours of my life that I cannot get back for any money, or my car. THAT cannot be replaced. It is MINE, and it is my right to stop a thief. I just will do so, and figure out the rest later if it happens.

What you wrote, I agree 100%. Too many pink sacked men for my taste anymore. No one has any pride at all? Insurance covers it all? So what? It is YOURS, defend what is yours to the end of your life. Otherwise, you are a libtard if you ask me. BTW, a pink sack is what little boys have, not men.

Your car is your horse.

DC’s corrupt thugs and goons hate traditional Americans... and they secretly love the criminals who prey on powerless citizens.

That’s the filth running our country... goons and thugs and white liberal ‘elites’.

I assume you don’t have insurance, which would make a little more sense.

When you are poor, because your productive life was cut short by broken bones, then find that cancer was the cause, you have to plan everything. Who can afford full coverage insurance. Actually, who can afford the premiums after having a car stolen? I planned ahead, my housing is paid for, but my SS which I earned, not disability, pays around $1300 a month. If someone takes just $200, that is a utility bill. Sure, I can pay $20 extra for 10 months to make it up, but that is a lot of pain to make sure a robber goes home safe and sound. I would rather stand in front of a jury and explain what it is like in the real world, as they put it.

The reason people are so tolerant, and calm about stores being robbed, cars jacked, and other so called monetary crimes is, INSURANCE. Without insurance, which costs how much per person per year, or business, people would feel different. The Macys owner would have security with MP 5’s to stop theft. Instead, insurance is fueling the loss of goods and safety on the streets. The same goes for cops, the cities wouldn’t pay off for loss of life or pain for thugs, if someone else wasn’t paying the bill. INSURANCE is of the devil.

I should have added, Lawyers wouldn’t take cases to sue Police departments and cities, without insurance. They simply would see not profit in it, and that is ALL this is. Nobody really wants Justice, they want the geets son. Let the cops do their jobs, fire them, jail them for criminal activity. Knock off with the financial awards. It fuels more crime if you think about it.

I own several cars and one pickup truck with a manual transmission.

What is the newest one?

I had to replace my truck after a flood five years ago and looked everywhere for a truck with manual transmission and couldn't find one.
