Dawg sorry to hear bout this....Last week I had the same but I caught the ****er in the act and ran after him with the Louisville. Lets just say he didn't wanna come back to my hood anymore after that.
As for your insurance claim. I wouldn't go through the insurance just because whatever they say to you regarding your rates not going up......they will. I would try to get futureshop to pay for this b/c of the alarm. You may be able to sue for punative damages under contract law regarding The sale of goods act. Ask a lawyer though....if they didn't give you the option to demo the alarm you got a tough case to beat..

That true!!!! that pretty much quotes it. I would claim it depends on how much the total value is and if I claimed before. If you have alot of cliams then don't bother because you are going to pay for it later.

Uh, did anyone even stop and think that maybe, just maybe, it WAS installed correctly, and now the factory pin switches for the door is malfunctioning?
I have seen this happen personally. A guy onced yelled at my installer for doing a "****" job, only to appoligize to him about an hour later, when my installer showed him the factory door switch was at fault. (due to corrosion)
The guy felt like an ***.
So don't automaticaly assume it's the alarm's fault.
And dc5pwr, you can request a print be done.......but you might have to pay for it yourself.

But if the sensors belongs to the car, then the alarm brand can't be held liable. 
The alarm can work great for years and years, but if part of the car (ie.... a door pin swtch) rusts out, or malfunctions, that's not that alarms fault, or the installers fault. It's the company that built the car that's at fault.

look man, you got your toys jacked. It must feel like ****.
But you gotta get over it. Looking for blame or ppl to account for your lose is not the way to go.
I've said it b4, and I'll say it again.
Even if your alarm was 100% perfect condition, it would have taken the f...king theves 15 more seconds to silence your siren.
I really doubt futureshop will do anything for you.
Your insurance co is your best friend in this case. Just inquire? It doesn't hurt.

Alot of people have given you good advice and you are running around trying to build a case of negligence by the way of free labour?
That will hold up real well.
Good luck kid

no i paid for a ****ing alarm i want it to work. but hey the alarm didn't do off ...most of you already are saying the pin switch could be rusted without even looking at the car...now what if the alarm was not installed correctly..that the switch you guys talk about is not connected. how would my alarm go off.. why pay those guys at futureshop to have it installed and buy an alarm if it doesn't work...
so your telling me that if you buy a sub in a box from futureshop and they install it and it doesn't work ..... are you trying to say you will let futureshop get away that easily and you will go talk to your insurance company IF it did cover such things ?????
give me a break..
man i'm more pissed my insurance company is only gonna give me back $1000 for all my audio...
STATE FARM BLOWS.......when i called them up they were like oh you could have got extra coverage for it..so then bitch why didn't you offer it to me in the first place or inform me about it.......
