I'm the other schmuck who got his car stolen because the valet key was in the car. I used to keep it there for the 'convenience' factor. When the weather gets cold, I run out to the car in the morning, and start it up to defrost. I use the valet key because my standard keyring has my house key on it, which I need to lock my front door behind me. Simple as that. I'm sure others on here probably do the same.
Now, will I do it again? Obviously not. The 'convenience' factor does not outweigh the 'pain-in-the-ass' factor that occurs when your car is stolen and not recovered. The insurance company is just starting to process my claim now, and it has been over a month now.
Anyway, sorry to hear about your ride. I may be the only one here that can truly sympathize...though mine didn't get driven off a cliff (as far as I know).

I don't use the valet key myself. I have my woofer in my trunk, but that's about it. The valet would have to be pretty brave to steal that. I don't really see a purpose to keep in your car.

A pro wouldn't risk breaking into a car that he didn't want.
Sucks anyway.

Just chill out and let the business get done. It will take a while, but if sometimes pressuring at the right time can be a judicious thing to do, it can also turn against you if you do it too much.
Once the report is out from the police, they will have it evaluated, and then you'll know if it's totalled, within a few weeks of then you should have your cheque.

She said: it's GINORMOUS!
when they find the car totalled, it takes about a month for all the paperwork to settle (at least in my case), then they cut you a check. i have geico and they're pretty quick.

see ...
im not the registered owner cause im only 17...so soo the insurance guy told my mom he wanted to talk to me to see what happened. so he said he'll call monday (today) at 9:00am. so we waited and i called him at 10:30 this morning while i was waiting for my mom at the doctors. so of course he said he needs to have my parents consent to talk to be cause im 17. So when my mom was done she called back and he started asking how much my parents made and stuff....but we were at some buliding permit place and said we would call him back. So....of course when we get home we call back he doesn't pick up. So now im going to go crazy. all i know is this and last week were a waste of 2 weeks cause we haven't gotten anywhere. Thanksgiving is going to delay everything.

They are conducting an investigation for fraud on you, that is pretty clear.
You should not be letting yourself be handled by them this way. Maybe you should consult a specialized attorney in the matter and seek advice on how to get that problem resolved.
They will try and do some nitpicking until they can find their way out of the insurance contract they have with you. You need to have them stop this, because that is an abusive strategy they use on unexperienced customers.
A registered letter from an attorney could set things right and give you the respect you deserve.

Based on a thread a month or two ago, I recall that he was dropped by his parents' insurance company after an at-fault accident in his 'teg. He said at the time that he now had a different insurance company than his parents.
Now it seems that the car is registered to his mom not to him -- not usually the way you would work things if you're trying to seperate liabilty -- which makes me wonder why she would need a different insurance carrier for this car.
The insurance company most certainly wants to be sure they have the "right" picture before proceeding. If nothing else, they need this in order to be certain that they're legally in the clear to even cut a check.
I'm not saying there's anything necessarily wrong. Parents often do all sorts of things to keep the kid's liability distinct from their own. Some of them are legal, some of them are not, but all of them will tend to cause an adjuster to want to verify all the facts.

Again, not saying that's the case, but it sounds like that's the kind of thing they may be concerned about.
TSXhondatuner, I'm just speculating here about what the guy may be looking for. Not saying it's there, just that it's the kind of thing they look for when a 17 year old driving an expensive car gets into a situation like this. I'm not an attorney, but I've dealt with shit like this and I strongly suggest that you NOT say too much about any of it in a public place like this. Tell us the full story when it's over.
