yeah, it was about a quart low. my only thought is that they could turn the motor over, but it wouldn't fire, and when you do that, the Low Oil light was probably on, so they put ~a quart in it.
Jeez that's crappy. All that damage for just a deck. I had a deck stolen once, they looked through a LOT of CDs and decided they didn't like them nor my arnette sunglasses. It was a hundred dollar deck, they could've gotten more money for the discs. Sure would be nice if they find these guys.
Electric water pump, eh?
Arrrrrgh! I don't mean that in the fun pirate way either, they really fucked your car up, and for what? A stereo? I wouldn't mind seeing these assholes winning Darwin Awards. I'd rather have someone walk up, demand the cash out of my wallet, scare the hell out of me and get on with it than fuck with my car. Its just frustrating to know how much red tape and silliness you'll have to work through to get this sorted out with insurance etc.
I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for you guys. Its nice to have you on my list of friendlies.
Man... You're so rad. Morningbloom's journal says it all... Your surprise went over really well apparently. So cool. I'd love to go on a triple date with you guys, me and mine, and Egon and Mercy. Do you two play board games? (I know... We're so lame, but I love Scatagories and Uno...)
definatly report it, and insurance is a good thing.
(ps. sorry about getting your stuff messed up. that sucks totally.)
