Default CRAP! Another headlight theft victim here.

Was parked in my apt. parking lot. Looks as if there was NO other damage.
So far I've called the police. They came down to take down info for a report.
I also called my insurance sales agent and they are faxing the info to the insurance company. my theft deductible is $300 I was told. I was told I'd be contacted by insurance in likely a few hours.
How long does it take an adjustor to come out? A few hours, a few days? My company is hanover insurance for what its worth.

How do I handle the rest of the rest of the situation? I had euros btw, and would like to get them again if i can. I'm not in the mood to STFA for this stuff, as there are too many matches with old or bad or irreleavent info. please help an AW old timer out. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that. Adjusters generally take about 2 days in my experience.

Default damn! that sucks. germanautoparts.com. i got my ecodes for $400 at WF.

looks like maybe now you can upgrade to spp stage III if you didn't have them before. i can't wait to go that route.

two days for the adjusters? how are you supposed to drive in that time? rental? how annoying. i'm paying for what i hope is good insurance (moving to state farm, geico and progressive SUUUUCK).

good luck

Default my car was in the body shop a few weeks ago and there was a black avant that had its headlights...

...stolen. The owner informed that it started in NJ and moved here. I was like, yeah, I know, it sucks. I really don't like this trend since I go to BC and my car is often parked in/near Boston. FVCK
