I agree I think there is what 7-14day grace period, so he should be covered.

I feel for you. The bastard thief who broke into my car actually knows what he was doing and didnt cut any wires at all. They did not damage anything, seem like a pro work. I just took my car to shop which was referred from my insurance company, have them appraised the damage, which was a lot more than actually cost me to fix, have the insurance cut me a FAT check, bought everything for half price from a vendor here and fixed it myself

find out if you a grace period people here are talking about, you should have it, same situation to a co-worker I know and he was able to get it covered.
He was able to take it to a shop he knew of and had it fixed.

30 day grace period with my insurance with Ameriprise. I can buy your vehicle today, you can drop the insurance effective immediately, and I am covered for 30 days on your old car while I sort out the paperwork and get to DMV to get it insured in my own name. This is all assuming you (or your parents) have insurance on another car.

if they cut all the wires at once, it probably caused a fuse to pop... I'd start there checking all of the fuses.

Check each fuse with an ohm meter and replace any bad ones. Also, make sure you insulate the ends of all the cut wires so they don't short out again.

There chould be at least three blown fuses -
constant power
switched power (unlikely to blow)
cluster / instrumentation

Also, check to make sure the tail lights still work - many times with the cluster lights go out the tail lights quit working as well.

it sounds like they either broke, or tore some wires from the AC control module (little white box below the radio, once you take out hte shifter trim panels you will see it, there are three plugs that go into it, and they go to a slew of things, such as gauage cluster, door chime, speed sensor wire, etc etc etc...

my bet is on that.
