Hawk stolen
My beloved Hawk was stolen last night from a well lighted parking garage in Boulder. Cop says teams from Denver and Aurora are targeting Boulder to steal cars. She was locked. I was gone 4 hours. Filed a claim which has her listed as a "Firebird", so not only do I have the feeling that I will never see her again, but I know insurance will pay very little. I am heartbroken..............am looking on Craigslist and Ebay. Plate number is 554-NJV. She's red, damage to driver's side panel.

Re: Hawk stolen
Drat! Sorry to hear such bad news. I really detest thieves! I'll keep an eye out for it when I'm on I-70 in case it makes it's way thru Kansas, my guess is that it's headed way south or already in a chop shop. Good luck with the insurance company. Good idea watching Craig's List and Ebay as the parts may start showing up there.

Re: Hawk stolen
Start gathering info on Firehawks (additional content and costs) as well as looking around for cars that would be considered a replacement - same year, similar mileage, similar options and condition, etc. and be ready to negotiate with your insurance company. I had to do the same thing when my wife's Lumina Z34 was totaled and I ended up getting $2500 more than the insurance company originally wanted to give us.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Re: Hawk stolen
Scott makes a really good point. You don't just have to automatically accept the insurance company's first offer on what they want to pay. The more info on sales of similar year/mileage Hawks and dealer price adds for options on Hawks you can show them, the better off you will probably be.

Re: Hawk stolen
I'm sorry to hear about your car I hope you can get it back. FWIW I had my insurance agent (State Farm) take pictures of the interior, mileage and exterior of our Hawks just in case. I made it clear to my agent that i wanted another Hawk if stolen and correct parts if wrecked all for a few extra dollars every 6 months. I know this doesn't help you now but thought I would put it out there for others. Good luck!

Re: Hawk stolen
I HATE THIEVES!
The chances are not likely but I usually keep an eye out for specialty cars out on the road anyways, hopefully being here in South Texas if they try to take it down the I-35 to Mexico and by the grace of God I actually see it I will be sure to contact police... really is about all I can hope for, lots of Red T/A's around here (needle in a haystack)... everyone is going to be wondering why I am going after every Red T/A.
Good luck and sorry for your loss.

Appreciate that ! I have worked for Allstate (my carrier) and sold GM cars, so I think I have a good chance at getting the most out of it. I bought a 2013 Nissan Altima yesterday. Very impressed, a little zip and far more technology than I will ever master ! New job and will be saving for the next Firehawk purchase. I am determined !
I have a sexy replacement for you..........
Thanks, but I think a Firehawk I can actually drive would be better
