    I was looking at the warranty plan for myself, but it doesn’t cover theft! Lets help Allstate fixes that.

      Why should a warranty plan cover theft?

      Depending on price, the majority of phones are valued below most HO policy deductibles.

      Keep your phone close and it won’t be stolen. How difficult is that?

        If you scroll all the way down, it compares itself to plans that OFFER theft. That’s why I mention it. It’s also an exposure that I’m pointing out and they could make the product stronger. Why the hate?

        That’s not true in many cases of theft. Most people don’t live in rural places, they live in cities, and in those cities, many thefts are when people have their phones out and are using them.

    All in All, a great acquisition for Allstate as long as it welcomes the acquired execs to its board room. They can learn a lot from this team.
