Montgomery County Sheriff Derrick Cunningham is urging drivers to check their insurance policy before their car is stolen.
“If you don’t have comprehensive and full coverage insurance, they’re not going to cover it,” Cunningham said.some insurance companies are not covering vehicle thefts when there is no evidence of wiring or forced start tampering.
The Alabama Department of Insurance said drivers with liability-only coverage are not covered for loss of their car by theft. The sheriff adds the same goes for car parts. “The majority ones that we’ve been seeing, though, lately has been people that get out of cars at convenience stores, leave them running, and people jump in the car and drive off,” Cunningham said.
