May be what you should do is call AoA (or someone). Tell them that "Hot
damn! Would you belive your A4 is so popular, that even the bears wanted
to test drive it!?" And see if you can trade it in (free) for the S4.
Tell them you're a good advertiser. (^:

When I had to file insurance claims, my family and friends just told me to
be as vague as possible. I guess in your case, you should just tell 'em
that, "Well, uh... the bear got it... That's *ALL* I remember..." Also
proceed to show the scrach 'n' dents on you.

Well, sorry to hear about that. You're not gonna go back and hunt the
bear, are you?
