Default Z's interior vandalized

Long story short, my Z had it's driver's side sun visor ripped off the headliner. The plastic base is still there, and im assuming I can pop off the cover of it and there will be screws under to remove? When the visor got ripped off it left the power wire for the vanity mirror hanging with the copper exposed. Now my dome light does not work.

Rest of the electrical works fine. Was there a short? How easy would that be to repair myself? I really don't want to get reamed by some dealer.

The Dome light should be a simple fuse change once you get everything replaced out. Any other damage?

I hope that is the case. Right now I have a couple of exposed wires hanging out of the hole where the sun visor goes in. I've ordered a new sun visor and hopefully it will be a easy splicing job to wire the vanity lamp into the new visor.

Basically what happened is that as I walking out of the mall, someone was in beginning of stages of trying to rip off my stereo. Saw me approaching quickly he reached up, ripped my visor off and ran... Why he did that, no idea.. Maybe frustration. But he wasnt' able to damage or remove the stereo.. I gave chase for a bit, but the dude was quick..
