Uninsured motorist was: Once again, a scirocco break in/theft.

I'm pretty tired of these uninsured motorists.  While driving, I have
been hit six times:  twice rear ended with no damage, three times rear
ended (with damage) by uninsured motorists, and once run off the road in
a hit and run.  (This, by the way, does not include the hit-n-run
recently to my passenger door while parked!)  

To make things even more fun, this stereo was stolen (June '99) during
the repairs from the uninsured hit (May '99), shortly after being hit by
another uninsured motorist (Dec '98).  Three claims in six months...  I
cringe whenever I get a letter from my insurance...

For the record, Virginia claims to "be tough" on uninsured motorists. 
The first time I was hit by one of them was right in front of two police
cruisers trying to leave the station.  Later on, when we found out she
had no insurance, my dad (I was still on his policy at the time) called
the police to get them to take her off the road.  They said to "call the
DMV".  He called the DMV and they said "call the police"...

B., the moving target.
