I jumped with emotion, the more I look at this thing the more I think something is not right, Steve is right, I would still be standing in my driveway in disbelief, and probably sick to my stomach.

Usually I am one of the first in line to help someone out in a time of need but this seems rather peculiar, First off the check, If your insurance is cancelled you will receive a cancellation notice in the mail along with a grace period of at least 30 days to find new insurance, it seems odd that a refund check shows up at the time of the fire. Second, The address on the check is for a town in Arizona and the fire was in a garage in Utah. Is one of these addresses for a second home? Third,seems like the donation hot lines were set up aweful fast and at a time most of us would be spending time on the phone with our insurance agent asking why we didnt get a cancellation notice. Fourth thing is and as a builder I can tell you there are not alot of garages worth a 100k unless they are occupied by a Yenko or L-88 and in that case they would have their own insurance coverage for this, so that leaves the garage itself. I have an 80 foot 2 story wood framed garage that I built for at least half that amount including cement, drywall, bathroom facilities, and heating and Airconditioning. So saying their is a 100k in damage is a little off the mark. Somebody needs to fill in a lot of blanks before the donations can be sent out. Maybe the guy can come on here and explain what is going on...other than that, Thank God nobody was hurt.
