EXCUSE ME??? THEFT??? The damage occurred during the prevention of greater damage to my home...A police report was filed and the adjuster ( a Nationwide employee rather than an independent adjustment firm, BTW) had absolutely NO problem with the claim.. They could very easily have rejected the claim but my actions prevented a much more expensive claim....I find your reasoning to be irrational, to say the least...that's what insurance is for...it was NOT intentional, it WAS an accident..so if you are stupid enough to park your vehicle on a street and it is stolen, by your reasoning you shouldn't be able to file a claim because your mental deficiency is responsible for the theft...BTW...The vandals were later apprehended because I was able to provide a license plate off of their vehicle...it also cleared a series of vandalism reports... I have respected your extensive contribution to the list, but I feel that in this case, as well as in a recent discussion, you over-stepped the bounds of civility and I would respectfully request an apology.. Regards, Mike K
