Over the near 20 years I've been here, I've heard everything negative thrown at Chuck and his pricing. With the exception of maybe one or two times where I joined-in on the pile-on, I did feel some of it was a little heavy handed and harsh. This might have been one of those times, since I do agree, theft is theft. And I've known reporters to run a story with factually incorrect information, so when I see the list, and the number being thrown around, my first thought is maybe it was reported in error. Then I see this handwritten note, and assuming this was something MH produced, all that gets thrown out the window. And I hate to sound like I'm venting here at the same time, but my HO rates went up this year. Not by a little either. And certainly not because I had a claim - I haven't had one. Ever. Not on our properties, not on our vehicles. In fact, I'm usually the type of person that will pay out of pocket before I put in a claim, because I don't want my rates to go up. I had my vehicle broken into just after Christmas, they took everything, including all my ID and about $300 in cash. I had planned to add some items to the schedule this year which I have added to my collection, but have had to put that on hold because of the unexpected increase. When I asked my insurance why my rates went up, they told me it was because everyone else around me put in claims (mostly for storm damage). The "risk rating" not only shot up in all the areas where we have properties, but coincidentally also went up for our vehicles because of vehicle break-ins. You don't put in claims thinking it will help keep your rates the same, or possibly lower them, but somehow, insurers find a way to recover their losses even with customers who are claims free. So to hear someone pulling values out of their butt like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And while I've always felt it was his prerogative to price his stuff as he pleases (and conversely, should expect the backlash from it), to over valuate in this manner is wrong, particularly if it's the value basis for an insurance claim.
