Oh, Drew you'll be happy to know that the pop-charger appeared intact when I saw the car. Why they took the emanage but not the popcharger is beyond me. But lucky about the popcharger no less.
It was stolen from just south of Pico, near Fairfax.

Btw, you never let anyone know the outcome of the police investigation.
I wonder why???

Why is it that over half the posts in this thread said the story didn't sound quite right, but I am the one who gets singled out? Oh well, no sweat off my *****.
I just like to cut thru the BS and try to get to the real story if something doesn't add up. That's all. I will let you in on a little secret......you can't believe everything you read on the internet.

It doesn't sound like the thieves really put much thought into stealing the car. My previous car was stolen a few months ago and I went through the same thing, trying to reason out why they'd do it. I eventually discovered that there really wasn't any intelligent reasoning behind it.
They weren't professional car thieves, just opportunistic *****es looking for a joyride. And after they were done, they tried to take whatever they could and split. Judging from the things you said that they took from your car, they probably had no idea what is worth money on the Z. Shift **** and pedals? Probably some Fast 'N Furious ricer punk kids.
Sorry for your loss. +1 on what someone said a few posts earlier about speaking to the manager. You have to talk to the right insurance person; a lowly pencil pusher will just follow the manual.

I yelled at the apartment manager for a good 40 minutes yesterday and told him that if anything got stolen from my apartment again he is on actual notice that the windows are inadequately secured and he would hear from my lawyer. He gave me the name of a maintenance person to replace the locks.
The "pencil pusher" at the ins. company has already started trying to bust my *****. Yesterday, the impound yard refused to take credit card over the phone, none of the Nissan dealerships will advance the impound costs. The adjuster told me on the phone 4 times that it would work out better if I "went with one of their approved shops." I told her there was no way in hell I was going to one of her "approved shops" since I'd heard about the kind of work they do and I'm not interested in it.
Then she tries to throw in right at the end that I agree that she was only going to cover impound fees for another day and then it was on me. I basically said "I'm not agreeing to ****, if you can't do your job and figure things out with the impound yard, you can rack up all the fees you want and you can pay the bill." Less than 30 minutes later the impound fees were figured out and the car was being towed to a Nissan dealership.

Update
I went out to West Covina Nissan today to pick up the car. They're great and everyone was very nice. It looks like the mechanical aspects check out, which is good. It was a little weird getting used to driving it again after driving another car for a week or so.
The body has some damage that looks repairable. It looks like they drove over something. The front bumper is banged up pretty good all around, the side skits have this horrible red paint (like curb paint) underneath. Plus they seem to have taken a few chunks out of the wheels and tires. Various other scuffs, scratches and scrapes on most of the panels. They also fuxxed up my drivers side B-Pillar somehow as well as the inside door handle. And stole my $40 Voodoo **** but left the stock $130 **** in the car.
Next stop is the body shop.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to kill someone "in self-defense." Coming into my home in the middle of the night like that would be a bad bad bad idea. I'd definitely tear off the first piece of flesh I could get a hold of. Then once I had them incapacitated, I'd super glue their pee hole shut and clip their ***** to snippets with a nail clipper whilst spraying them with a windex bottle full of ammonia.

In order to use self-defense, you would have to be awake. Else, they would have gotten a hold of something a lot bigger than a nail clipper.
