Car trashed... Options?

[Michael McLaughlin]

Many years ago my sister had the stereo stolen out of her 1984 Jetta  
when it was parked at her high school. These thieves also took the  
vent-window route. The first thing the insurance guy said when he  
looked at it was that the thieves were obviously amateurs since they  
didn't just go in via the door handle.

They also stole some of her CDs but left others behind, but that's an  
entirely different issue...
