Geico
Policy cancelled after car was taken without my permission

I had been with Geico for years because they were the most affordable insurance company I could find until they changed a policy about payment. They decided that to renew my policy, they wanted a down payment 30 days before the new policy even started. Of course, I told them where they could stick it and went to their competition. They hounded me for months trying to get my business back, and after 6 months with another company, they finally came back with a reasonable quote that didn't require an advance down payment.

After almost 30 days of having this new policy, my car was taken in the middle of the night without my permission. The car was found abandoned and towed. It apparently had been involved in an accident at a convenient store when it backed into the door of another car causing approximately $500 in damage to the other car, and no claim on mine (needs maybe a small bottle of touch-up paint).

Geico then turns around and cancels my policy because "the car was in an accident within 30 days of the policy starting". What??? My car was taken without my permission and they cancel my insurance?

Tell everyone you know to not use Geico and if they currently have them, sign up with someone else and cancel their Geico policy before something stupid like this happens to them!
