On Monday night (10pm) my car was stolen. It’s now Wednesday afternoon and no news on where it is. I have two questions:
1) It is a 2007 Mazda CX-7 Grand Touring edition (Kelley Blue Book value is about $18500 +/-). In great condition, low low miles. Is this a car that is likely to be chopped up and sold for parts? It is all factory with no after market add-ons. Or is this a model that will be taken as far away as possible and sold? I’m just trying to figure out what the likeliness of finding it is.
2) If the car is not found, which Kelley Blue Book value will my insurance give me? I have full coverage through one of the larger companies (State Farm, All State etc….not Geico). The trade-in value is down around $14,800 and retail is $21,000. What will I likely get?
I would love to hear from an insurance agent or someone who has been in the same situation!!! Thanks

Hi everyone, I live in an apartment complex where a lot of cars get broken into or stolen.
My parking spot is well lighted. I will be gone for 3 weeks so I want to know what is the best way to avoid having my car getting stolen.
I read that cars either get broken into and then stolen or they get towed by robbers.
I have a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic with an alarm and Pass Key III. I already make sure I don’t leave anything inside that people can see. Carry both sets of keys on me as well as registration and insurance. Always make sure windows and doors are locked. Title is hidden at home. I always use my parking brakes.
My parking space is against a wall in the front. Should I drive into the parking space or back up into the parking space?
What can I do to avoid getting my car stolen?
Thanks for your help!!!
Someone mention my home owners insurance might pick it up. What’s the best way to notify the local pawn shops so that they can keep an eye for these items? I did file the report with local police department.
