Good point. You will not get new parts. I had a car stolen a few years back. They took seats, sun roof and wheels. The insurance company will only give you USED parts. I got scratched wheels, scratched sunroof and natty seats as replacements for my pristine ones. They are fueling the theft by only replacing with the used poarts that have probably been stolen. If they replaced with new parts only it would help eliminate the market for stolen ones.

The liability your insurance company would have to absorb for replacing parts with used parts would be tremendous. If this actually happenned to you, you're not dealing with an insurance company but scam artists.

Well, only 40 owners out of 140 sent in their payment. I guess it has to do with my request for proof of ownership.

My response:
I requested a copy a of your registration, to verify that you are an S2000 owner.
I also stated that you should block out the VIN. That way, the only info listed is your name, adress and vehicle type. I already have your name and address to send the Locks, so I'm really not getting any other personal info for you.
If you send a copy of your insurance card and block out the VIN, the only other info is the name of your insurance company. I don't think that's a big deal. [I use Esurance - =) ]
It may sound like an unusual request, but I don't want to sell the Seat Locks to non-owners/thieves.
