amount of money. In fact, I wouldn't even call and ASK the insurance
company about it.
If you're carrying a $250 deductible, you're paying too much for
insurance. Adding a $500 claim to that deductible will probably make
you pay even more for insurance, if you still have it at renewal time.

Scroll down to: "Auto and homeowners insurance "must do's"" In short,
save the insurance for the big claims.
I've found Clark's advice to be very accurate on many topics.

Re: Softtops and Insurance
Don't lock the jeep and possibly that will prevent some future slashings.
You can't really lock it anyway with a soft top.

Re: Softtops and Insurance
It wasn't locked, for that very reason.
I take all valuables out, pull the face off the radio, and leave 'er
unlocked.
