Maybe I did misuse the term. What I was getting at is I'm a firm believer in rule of law if that law is just and fair. It's much better than having people take care of things on their own , IMO. Sometimes that's the way it has to happen but it's not ideal.Vigilante justice is not the same thing as defending your property. The word gets misused a lot.
Definition of VIGILANTE
a member of a volunteer committee organized to suppress and punish crime summarily (as when the processes of law are viewed as inadequate); broadly : a self-appointed doer of justice… See the full definitionwww.merriam-webster.com
That's great in theory but it breaks down rather rapidly when you're being victimized in the here and now. And relying on insurance to replace your stolen items is just paying for the theft in installments. You were still robbed, and the thief has learned where to steal.Maybe I did misuse the term.

Amen! Forget about the insurance covering loss, all that does is increase rates for all of us. It empowers the criminals. What gives someone, anyone, authority or rights to take anything, anything that I have worked hard for and paid for?I have zero sympathy. By the time one turns 13 in the USA, one should be capable of understanding (1) the difference between right and wrong plus (2) actions have consequences.
And shame on us all for allowing insurance to become a racket, and litigation a license to become rich.
Better add that rental car coverage then...I am of 2 minds.
1. Few possessions are worth shooting over.
2. As a single vehicle family, you could ruin both me and my family's income by stealing my car. I could loose my home etc.
I am fortunate, I have plenty of friends and family that would either pick us up or loan us a vehicle, it was a for instance more then anything.Better add that rental car coverage then...
Your last sentence really rings a bell with me! I am fortunate in life recently. That being said I can relate, for years I was the single income that provided for a wife and three kids, then four kids, same income. I got tired of the same old same old, really tired of it. I took a chance on a new job at lower pay, studied on my own time (a concept VERY rarely seen now), worked my ever lovin' tail off and it paid off in the end. If someone truly wants to get out of a rut, it's there's for the taking, almost all though will not put in the extra work to get there though. Hard work doesn't always pay off, but good things will never come without it.I am fortunate, I have plenty of friends and family that would either pick us up or loan us a vehicle, it was a for instance more then anything.
Most homeless people that aren't there due to mental illness lost their jobs and then couldn't afford payments on things like cars, insurance, homes etc.
Most people with means are not able to fathom what it is like to barely make it financially.
There's an old saying, "you get out of life what you put into it". Those who take the efforts to better themselves and sacrifice to get there will usually reap the greater rewards that come with that bettering of oneself. Just as you have experienced kmk1012. Too few what to put the effort or sacrifice in, just as you've said. We've become a "give it to me or I'll steal it from you" society. How unfortunate.Your last sentence really rings a bell with me!

It (generally) takes a minimum of 10,000 hours to master a (practical) skill.Worse yet, we have become a "everything is owed to me" society.
Same here, started my IT career in '85, settled on a speciality in '90, like you plenty of overtime, especially in those early days. Now in the twilight of my career, also well into six figures, feeding the retirement plan with plans to call it a career in 6 more years. I won't be young enough to date anyone's sisters. But still young enough I don't need no little blue pills.It (generally) takes a minimum of 10,000 hours to master a (practical) skill.
I've got 34 years in my trade averaging 2,300-2,500 hours a year. In 1990 I started as a laborer/assistant at $6, kept at it through thick and thin and slowly progressed to well into six-figures with a full benefits and a pretty decent retirement pension…. 5 more years to go before I pull the cord and retire, and I'll still be young enough to date your younger sisters!
Get a job, ya bum!!To me a car / truck or possession isn't worth a life or shooting someone. That's what insurance is for.
