What To Do If Your Car Gets Stolen

​Is there anything more satisfying than driving your treasured car down a peaceful road? Whether it's an unpredicted road trip or a daily commute, having a nice peaceful drive is good for the soul.

A car is like a family member you want to keep safe. This happiness is easily shattered if you are the victim of a carjacking.

It is difficult to replace a lost vehicle, but it can provide you with the appropriate compensation to deal with if you have vehicle insurance. This article is about your lost vehicle and what you should do to file a compensation claim for your stolen vehicle:

Things To Do When Your Car Is Stolen
Before you even learn that your vehicle has been stolen or damaged, take the following immediate steps:

Alert The Cops As Quickly As You Can 
If your vehicle has been stolen, you should immediately contact the police and file a stolen car report. Just try not to call if your car was towed (or that you forgot where you parked).
Provide The Information That The Authorities Might need:

• Identification number for a vehicle (VIN)
• Your vehicle's make, year, model, and color
• Number on license plate
• Any distinguishing features of your car
• The last time you saw your car
• Information from your GPS

Contact Your Auto Insurance Provider
After filing a police report, file insurance claims within 24 hours of the theft. If your insurance provider requests more information, provide it as soon as possible.

Other Important Factors To Consider
Notify your leasing or financing company if the stolen car is financed or leased. Notify your loan or leasing business so that you may discuss the problem directly in order to expedite the filing of your claim.

A Vehicle Theft Questionnaire should be sent to you once you register your claim. Fill out the form and submit it to your claims examiner as quickly as possible.

Prepare For The Possibility That The Car Will Not Be Returned
It is projected that not all stolen cars are retrieved. Cars are frequently stolen for their components, which can be quickly torn down and taken. If your car is returned, it will probably be destroyed or have missing pieces due to these situations.

Conclusion
One of the most important steps is claim settlement. Following the submission of the claim, your insurance company will verify them before approving your claim.
