So I had my car stolen on saturday with it being recovered in less than half a day. It was in the beverly hills at the Gate and found in the valencia canyons (BFE).
I am kinda numb by the whole experience when i actually saw the car. The exhaust canisters were the first things i saw that was missing. The intake, hid ballast, stereo/dvd/amps/sub/center consol/ center consol arm rest thingy and one of my wheels had a nice size dent. The weird thing is the did not pop the ignition nor did they have to break a window which makes me believe that they had some sort of means to do such work. I have no enemies, if that is what you are thinking.
I contacted my insurance and they said they are going to estimate the damage, in my mind the damage is priceless, but i know it's going to be around 10k. I just want some advice from others on what i should do. I don't know if my thinking is correct when i say that if they were to replace items such as intake/exhaust with the oem ones, since the cost is so high on oem parts would it be possible to negoiate for aftermarket pieces?
Darkcyd, Vamp, and now myself... I just want others to highten their security measures so that you guys don't have to go through this feeling. The freaking guys had the audacity to steal the 10 pack of oil filters, my mobile syn oil, and the front break pad set i just bought from dali racing. These guys took the time to remove the wiring for the stereo/dvd unit (pioneer 7") and to boot steal the freaking gear shift knob. Ok, now i'm just venting..
If anybody can please advise on what to do, especially with an adjuster, thanks in advance.
