Guys, there is something going on that needs to be dealt with!!

I have just returned to London from a 3 month trip abroad, to find out that my Hardtop & light grey, heated front seats & interior have been stolen from my G Reg E30 Cabrio.

The car was covered at the back of my block of flats. Seems they came in the middle of the night... however, although there was exterior damage, the car was not stolen, & is still pretty much intact. Hopefully I can buy it back from the insurance co. & begin to restore it.

Looks like my insurers will Definitely write off the car. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how I can get the best value from the insurers - as it was not insured as a 'classic car'.

Cheers!

Kevin

+1 Sorry to hear this mate
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Cabs where anything of value is on them, ie: Hardtops, Leather , M-tech2 kits seems to be the targets here...

Probably not stolen to order here, but a group/gang of theives who target E30's to make a quick buck or two are the likely culprits here....

You rang the insurance? Surely you can only lose by doing this? (even more than you have)

2 seats and a new roof if the rag top is knackered and your back on the road.

Yes i know what has happened is annoying, upsetting and a pi55 take but if it was me i would council the claim and move on/try and get on with what you have left.
