I recently got my insurance claim taken care of,
in short, car was sitting outside and about 5k worth of **** was stripped, even the hood!
2 months later= check!
In short, call that ***** ___EVERY____DAY___ until your issue is resolved.
"talking to her boss" is another way to speed things up

It's funny, the story about someone breaking in to steal the car isn't that uncommon here in the UK. In fact I know at least two Z owners who have had it done to them, just the car and the thieves came in thru kitchen or patio doors.
Why is it so hard to accept that it's possible that the car was stolen to order?
At least one of the cars was found 48 hours later parked up on the side of the road, no apparant damage to it, all intact. Why? to see if the car had a tracker in it (similar to lo-jack I am guessing?), if it's not picked up in a couple of days the car is free to be taken elsewhere to be chopped or moved over seas.
I find it pretty sad that a lot of people naturally assumed the car had been stolen for insurance purposes, says a lot about certain peoples out look on things in my opinion.
At OP, I hope that the car was stolen and dumped like I mentioned above, it should mean that the car is in a somewhat decent state, otherwise heres hoping it get's written off for you if too badly damaged.

Finally saw the car yesterday. It was at an impound lot about 50 miles from here. It appears that they just drove the hell out of the car until it was out of gas, then locked it and left it on the roadside. There is minor damage both outside and inside. The biggest thing is that it looks like the trunk lid was ripped open, I have no idea why since they had the keys. It isn't fitting right. They stole my shift-****, e-manage, CD's, cash and checks for graduation presents a yo-yo and my electric toothbrush among other things. They didn't get the intake, exhaust or ugly chrome wheels (no idea why not since those are pretty easy to take as well). They tried, unsuccessfully, to get the pedals and it looks like they may have been pretty rough on the interior, but I can't be sure since the lights weren't working because I don't have a key.
Anyhow, it's on the way to a Nissan Dealer now to be looked over and inspected.
This would be the DUMBEST insurance scam ever. Having the car stolen only to find it 4 days later 50 miles away so that I have to drive back and forth in traffic. Leaving it out of gas with only expensive personal belongings and 2 mods stolen so that I have to argue with insurance about whether they'll cover any of it, and leaving minor damage that is going to be fixable, but not going to be able to get the car back in perfect shape as it was. Yes, I am running a scam just so that I can take 3 days off of work (unpaid) to take care of this, that's it you f*cking geniuses.

And now to find out that somebody comitted a B&E and risked possibly getting shot all to take a short joy ride and steal a couple of items from the Z makes the story even stranger. Don't you think? I am not saying you're a liar, just saying that the details of this story are odd IMO.

His story is odd but no reason to start calling him names! Criminals aren't the smartest people you know! If he wanted to pull a scam I am sure it would have been missing more parts!

because of new car security systems, and "theft proof" ignition, etc. People are starting to break into places more often to steal the vehicle keys.

In any event, it is now at a dealership being looked over. The police investigation is still under way and we are awaiting results on the prints which may take from 6-8 weeks.
Oh, by the way: Stolen out of LA; found about 1/2 tank of gas south in Long Beach area.
Couldn't see it well in the little "dusting room" at the impound, according to the tow-truck driver the bumper is a little messed up as are the rims.
