SURFACE RUN OVER BY CARS... AGAIN. not as lucky

[berty6294]

Okay, long story short, I did it again. I forgot my surface on my roof and it got ran over by many MANY more cars! It wasnt so lucky this time!

I remember somebody mentioning to me buying a warranty if its within so many days and then tell them i dropped it! I need help, i know being my second time i probably look like an ass for not appreciating my things but i really dont want to be out $700!

What should i do??

Even if i cant get the whole thing replaced or subsidized, anybody know where i can find parts? i think only the glass and the screen are broken!

Thank you!

Insurance fraud is never an option.

I'm sorry, why have you developed a habit of putting items on the car roof? Stop doing it or else your next surface will meet a similar end.

ughhh your right! actually, funny thing is after the first incident i never did put anything on my roof! And this one time today, i said to myself "theres no way i can forget again" as i changed shoes, and sure enough... i forgot!

its whatever, 3 days of work will pay for it. Im just going to wait until the pro to get a new one really wish i didnt have to wait so long!

Here's a piece of advice please take it, as it is very important:

Don't ever become a parent. Don't even get a cat.

Insurance fraud is never an option.

But it's always put in practice.

You would think you'd learn from the first time. So much for learning the hard way...

OMG. Geez man! You can't temp fate twice!!

Buy a new surface - get a briefcase or backpack with it this time - get out of the habit of leaving things on your roof (I.e. Put your new surface/briefcase in the car FIRST as soon as you open the door.)

Consider it a life lesson. Don't claim stupidity and ignorance on an insurance claim. Especially one that you haven't even purchased yet. MORALS - look it up.

Great news! Called Microsoft just to see what would happen if I touched an emotional side of them, and the guy I talked to said he would sign me up for the accidental damage protection for $100 and then to get my surface replaced it would cost $50! So for $150 I'm getting a new surface!

Not only that, but the way they do things I will be getting a brand new AC adapter and Touch cover as well! (and no not extra ones, I had to send the old ones back with the Surface)

Couldn't be happier right now!
