Our custom home remodel of 6644 Larsen is moving along reletively on schedule minus a few minor hiccups with the city. Chances are that even if this home wasn't being done as a custom remodel we still would've done this house as a flip. As you can see here the exterior paint has already been completed.

On the inside of this house we're working on the finishing up sheetrock, painting, and electric.

I really love how much the kitchen/dining/ living area has been opened up in this house.

If all goes well we should have more updates next week.

This Is Where We Started

Whether it's the work of an elaborate theft rings or random individual crime, auto theft is big business. On average, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III) a vehicle is stolen every 29 seconds in the United States at a cost of about $7.4 billion a year in 2007. Insurance for theft is included in the comprehensive part of your auto insurance policy that also covers fire, vandalism and weather related damage.

The number of insured cars stolen and their cost directly affect insurance premiums. By taking a few precautions you can reduce the chances of having your vehicle stolen.

• Always remove your keys from your parked vehicle.
• Park with your front wheels turned sharply to the right or left and apply the emergency brake. This will make it difficult for a thief to tow your car.
• Consider installing an antitheft device or buying a car with an immobilizer system that prevents a thief from driving off with the car.
• Park in a locked garage, patrolled or well-lit area whenever possible.

Unfortunately, carjacking has become a more common method of vehicle theft. Carjacking is the attempted or completed robbery of a vehicle by a stranger that includes the use of a threat or force. You can protect yourself from this crime.

• Don't roll down your car window to a suspicious person.
• Keep your car doors locked and windows rolled up
• If a suspicious person is near your parked car, don't approach it. Keep walking and contact area security or policy.

Insurance companies work together with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) to crack down on criminal operations. If you suspect vehicle theft activity, notify your local police, call the NICB anonymously at 1-800-TEL- NICB (800-835-6422) or report a crime at www.nicb.org.
