No guilt for any of it. Get the replacement. These aren’t $20 records from a local store or direct from the artist they’re a “premium” product at a high price point, if VMP can’t sort out the QC that’s on them.

My friends think I’m also crazy that I only leave my car keys inside my car unlocked - so I can’t disagree with you!
My parents leave their house door unlocked and I guess that’s why I like leaving things unlocked! I’m still getting used to the fact that my housemate locks the door - I lock the door to make sure she feels comfortable but I wish she was happy to leave the door unlocked!
My best friend leaves his apartment door unlocked all the time too and I know other people who do the same. I have to admit though…..I’ve never met anyone who leaves the car keys in their car unlocked! I think it actually is quite crazy I do that!
Just one small thing. Your insurance won’t cover you for theft if you leave your car/apartment open or the keys in the car and so there is no sign of break in.
With houses I kinda get it when you’re in, our family house in the country is never locked unless we are all out and the house I grew up in was the same. My apartment in Dublin though? Double locked and the chain on

I always ask for a replacement if it is bowl warped to the point it never touches the platter.

100% ask for a replacement. As @Joe Mac and @bdm105 said, this isn't a cheap record and if a warp is this bad then you should have a replacement. Think of it this way, if they listed it as a dishwarped record you likely wouldn't have bought it.
Im also going to be sending an email asking for a replacement. This is my copy of the Jazz Is Dead Vol 2 (@Andy turns out it was a dishwarp)
I haven't put mine on the platter yet, but just from looking at it thought it would be like that.
@zdkaiser unlucky with the Medeski, my copy has prefectly flat discs & feels like a premium product, send them a message if it's badly warped. I know what you mean though, tbh I'm a bit more forgiving on the records that I don't like so much or am not that impressed with, but the CS is what VMP is good at, I think that's why we pay a premium. & TBH I don't think $45/$50 is too bad for a double album mastered by RKS & pressed at RTI.
I'm sure they will get you a replacement out & you'll be happy, but don't leave it too long.
You've been very unlucky with those three records. nearly as unlucky as @Mather. It's generally not been that bad for a while.

If you are gonna live with it you should have someone run it through a vinyl flat and still get yourself some VMP store credit.
Started the night with some Three Degrees to get in the PIR mood, and then moved on to StVincents Daddy’s Home (arrived today after selecting in swaps last month).
After streaming the album earlier I was hesitant about picking this up. Didn’t grab me like I was expecting. But jumped in after reading some positive comments on Discogs … after spinning side A, glad I took the leap. The music is great, and the pressing is clean.

If they offer you a nice credit instead and you want to take it, you could send it to me (or someone else on the warp thread) to try and fix it with a Vinyl Flat, though sometimes it's harder to get out a bowl warp.

If you do end up getting a replacement and want to sell the dish warped one…I’d be down to buy it from you and try it in a vinyl flat.

Huh? I sold policies and later handled claims for a big insurer back in my youth (horrible job, wouldn’t recommend, paid for rent and booze in early 20s) and all unlocked cars/people have left keys in the car was an absolute exclusion. You’d have a pattern of thefts and then very despondent policy holders every winter from people turning the engine over to warm the car for a few minutes while they finished getting ready.
Unlocked doors/window on household and unlocked doors and key left in cars has been an exclusion in every policy I’ve bought too.

That is not the case in the US. Stolen is stolen. Your insurance will cover the theft (as long as you have Comprehensive coverage).

Oh wow! That’s commonly referred to as the insurance company not insuring against you being an idiot over here
There has to be signs of forced entry for both or starting of the car for motor.

Comp coverage is more of a “premium” type coverage. Drivers not legally required to carry it. Most folks carry it while their car is still being paid off or fairly new. It only covers theft in relation to the automobile though, not non-auto related items. So if you had a laptop in your bag and you bag was stolen out the back (locked or unlocked) your Comp policy would not cover your loss. You could file a claim under your homeowners or renters policy and the theft would be covered but most of the time it isn’t worth it because of the way those policies are structured but yeah, the car itself, locked or unlocked you comp policy would cover the loss.Oh wow!

Yeah we have comprehensive here too. Basically we have three levels: Third Party - Just the other car. Third Party + Fire/Theft and then Comprehensive which the adds cover your own car in an accident and often gets breakdown and windscreen cover bundled in.
It doesn’t ever extend to that lol!
