Well, actually, getting it back is not necessarily better as I have found out. My motorcycle was stolen a few weeks ago, and of course I only have liability insurance. I wanted nothing better than to get it back. Imagine my joy when the police called to say it had been recovered. Imagine my deflation when they said it had been in an accident and was damaged. (of course, they were NOT able to apprehend the thief). Undetered I went to pick up the bike at the impound (a mere $60 to get it out) and took it to the local shop to get an estimate. After all this I have a totally wrecked motorcycle and have spent $85 to find that out! I'm out $85 for *nothing*, and plenty of aggravation, after my vehicle was recovered. So don't assume that if the vehicle is recovered everything will be ok. -- Rick Gillespie ARPANET: rick@ucla-locus.ARPA or (soon) rick@LOCUS.UCLA.EDU UUCP: ...!{cepu|ihnp4|sdcrdcf|ucbvax}!ucla-cs!rick SPUDNET: ...eye%rick@russet.spud
