Yeah, in fact I have a bunch of electronics (tv, stereo, cd player) in the garage that a friend just gave me because he was moving to Aruba and didn't want to take it. It's yours if you want it.

I selected Personal > Gift but still had to pay the fee.

No repay needed, just take care of your family and enjoy the holiday spirit. This could happen to anybody, I guess that is why it is nice to be a Techster. When something bad happens the community should be available to help in what ever way they can whether you know the person or not.

sorry to hear about your loss man, I had the same thing happen back in '05 when hurricane rita came through... lost everything. Investigators never figured out what started the fire but the insurance company tried to sue us for arson and we never got ****. At the time my parents didnt really have the cash for a decent lawyer, so we kinda got screwed on the whole deal. Hope everything works out for you and your family...

Default Sucks

Man the same thing happened to us a little over a year ago. We were sleeping right through the smoke alarms and luckily the neighbors banged on our windows and hollered loud enough to wake us up. It is a horrible way to wake up that Ill never forget. We didn't have contents on our policy either which sucked because our contents were worth almost as much as the house. My boat was in the garage and was not covered because we didn't have contents. Get ready for a long stressful fight with insurance company. They will try everything in there power to low ball you and screw you over. There are still some ways to make a little extra money off of insurance to cover some of your lost contents. Pm me if you need any advice on dealing with the crooked *** insurance company.
