Reply to comment by JBizznass in Wtf level car insurance rates in Fishtown by gryklin

I didn't even think twice about parking my car in Fishtown. I moved up from living on Snyder where I was constantly paranoid about my car getting smashed up. After a year and a half of living in Fishtown, my car has gotten so vandalized that it's essentially totaled. I don't make a ton of money and it's an old car so I had extremely cheap insurance, but that meant they covered absolutely nothing from the vandalism. So now I'm without a car for the next few years at least because some assholes wanted to smash it up one night. On the plus side, I'm enjoying biking to work at least.

I lived in Fishtown and port Richmond for a little over 6 years. During that time I had the H stolen off my Honda (WTF?), a woman who was high as a kite slam into the back of my car at a red light (unlicesened and uninsured so that was on my dime), a hit and run that smashed up the side of my car parked in front of my house (I found the MFer and made them cover the cost but it took a ton of my own time and effort), windows keyed, and, yea I know it’s minor but, someone kept stealing my dam tire valve caps! I also had a woman try to pry my window open at a Dunkin’ Donuts because I honked at her when she was about to crash into me. No obvious damage from that one but the window never quite worked right after that. So yeah… that’s why your insurance is high in fishtown. When I moved to the burbs my insurance went down by almost half.
