Unless your insurance co. sucks, you should turn out OK then.

Default Somehow I doubt it will be that simple, but I'll hope for the best...

Don't get me wrong, I want the full original sale amount, but I really doubt they'll give it to me, or be so helpful about splitting up the checks. Consider how many good stories have you heard people tell about their experiences with insurance companies versus how many bad ones you've had. I don't even have a history with this insurance company either, as they just started covering me on 10/27 and the car was stolen on 10/30. But yeah, I hope the bank is willing to refinance me at the lower rates now. Or maybe AOA has some decent financing now? Does anyone know? They sure didn't when I bought.

Default They could have stolen it with a tow truck though. It's amazing how fast they can

take a car. I was hanging outside a club with a buddy a some months back. Some people were parked in parks that said you will be towed if parking here. Well, they didn't listen to the warning. I swear, 4 cars were towed in under 2 minutes. He never even got out of the truck. Just back up to it, lifted the front and was gone. The craziest one was then he couldn't get infront of the car, so he backed up to the side of the car, lifted it up and pull it out so he could drop it down and get in front!!!!!!!!

Default call kinkos and ask if they have a tow truck service or know of one in the area

that might be authorized to tow cars. Did they have any time limits in the parking lot (ex. 2 hour max)It's a long shot, but it could be something as simple as that!

best of luck!

Default Crap...If the alarm system that was activated was the stock alarm, then all I can say is...

WHAT alarm?!? I really wish they would have just left us without an alarm so we wouldn't want to depend on such a weak-**** system.

Sorry for your loss bro, I hope they don't find it because at this point, you don't want that used **** back, better to get payed off and get a new one :-(

If that happened, the tranny/Quattro would be FUBAR. (unless they flat-bedded it.)
