Hello from Saskatchewan,
Sorry about the truck.
But I don’t really understand what is going on.
Your insurance company should be fixing the truck or writing it off,
Seems to be what is usual for stolen vehicles.
Should not be up to you to hunt for parts, unless you bought back the salvage.
That can be a costly undertaking
Good luck
True. This has been a ****show from the beginning. I basically had to be my own adjustor and I guess autobody person. I just really have **** luck. The first time it was looked at, with me, the guy said he would do a second inspection as it was winter and it was outside and not washed off, and can't do full inspection missing parts. I suspect he did not do that. He missed a lot, seemed to only do what he and I initially went over.
So, what was taken were my tires, rims, grille, hood, battery, alternator, and whatever associated parts. They also used my own jack against me and took that. They broke the rear drivers window to get in, not sure how they started it - I assume an amplifier considering nothing was damaged in the cab and the tailgate handle was broken later, so likely they didn't re make a key or anything. I did ask one of them to tell me how they did it, but they didn't tell me. They also stole all my horse stuff? Super weird. not sure why they want halters and ropes but whatever. They did a really good job, too, and knew dodge. They knew all the places to look through everything and they were very thoughtful and thorough in taking things apart. No cut wires, nothing broken. Speaking with the tow truck guy, he picks stuff up in that spot every so often and there was a well known chop shop around it, allegedly busted, but I just found out about another so I'm probably gonna go have a visit soon.
Because it was a repo that is the reason I couldn't go off vin entirely. I had only had the truck a few months and in that time pretty much only used it to haul hay as winter was approaching, so normal driving and hay. I didn't pay a lot of attention otherwise because I just had so much on my plate at the time. I was also dealing with the return of the truck I had bought previous to this one, so I was honestly just happy to not have gotten screwed over by a dealership finally. I do wish I had taken photos of whatever was under the hood. Insurance restores a vehicle to what it was, so due to me not expecting to have my truck stolen and stripped, I neglected to make an inventory. Also I didn't notice that part was added on.
When I got my truck back the first time, I saw that they only repainted the door with the broken window and did not fix any of the scratches I had pointed out, and also that he was supposed to go over. He gave me some lame excuse of saying its normal wear and tear, but, due to having just previously purchased a truck with what I THOUGHT were scratches, but turned out to be cracked paint, I was thorough in looking at the body of this truck. It had absolutely zero damage aside from the grille and hood which both had a few matching scratches. Nothing else was wrong with it. I told him that initially but I guess he either forgot or was lazy. They did not fix the scratches on the front quarters where the dudes leaned over taking things out, they didn't fix the drivers door scratches, didnt fix a massive one on the bumper, didn't tint the replaced window when the other one was tinted, didn't align the hood correctly or even close it properly as it nearly flew up as I was driving, didn't put the bezels in the hood on correctly. When I asked him why he said its normal and that I clearly don't know anything about gaps in hoods. They also didn't replace the jack. They got the parts in and took it back and fixed it. In the meantime my adjustor checked in and was pretty upset with them for failing to do their job, and it put their contract with the company in jeopardy. So. When I returned they treated me well and fixed everything, but then we couldn't figure this missing panel out. He did order a cover for the engine, but I still think there was another one in there. It isn't there by vin, but me and my friend who was with me that day both recalled seeing it. Oh well.
Long winded reply. There was a lot of screwing me around. While I give people grace and I am patient, I do not ever back down from a fight and when I am not in the wrong but also a victim I will make sure things are done correctly. The autobody guy even apologised last time saying this isn't normally what happens with an insurance claim. But, he was going on vacation the first time, and I was mad that they took so long that I had to eventually pay for my rental out of pocket, and he realised he was waiting on parts he didn't even need so I think he rushed to get it back to me.
I have one photo from the dealership, and obviously photos now. Bonus help would be to figure out what a fuse board was that was also stolen.
