Geico may try to get a judgment depending on how much they are out of pocket versus cost. But, and this is key, its just easier and fiscally better for them to increase rates. That's why thefts like this hurt everyone.
The OP should be more focused on working on getting a garage space.

Just curious, when you say the insurance is purchasing the orignal wheels back, are you referring to the one whcih were stolen from the car?; or buying a new orignal set from Jaapn?
I believe you mentioned earlier that they have to order a new set from Japan; since it's most likely coming in a cargo ship of new cars, this would take at least a month or so from when the cargo ship left port before it would arrive.

wow, cool story :-) I got here from the other IS forum about stolen wheel caps.
I had my old Honda Civic (probably worth $4000) stolen last year. The police caught the guy (a druggie) 2 days later with almost no damage. He was sentenced to 7 years in prison because of prior offenses (he was arrested twice before on stealing cars but didn't get a conviction or something).
After that, I installed Viper 5902 alarm on my IS350. It wasn't too difficult. If you got the cash, then professionally installing it is a good idea ... I didn't feel like paying someone $1000 to install it. The most difficult part was getting the vents off since I had never done it before, it took me hours; now I can get them off in 10 minutes. I used info posted here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...ory-alarm.html and posted some questions on the12volt.com forums. If you just want the alarm, you really only need to connect 3 wires from the car to the alarm (a ground, +12v, and ignition/accessories wire). You do need to read a bit on the things come with the alarm system telling you which wires do what.
