Robyn, when I lived in downtown Philly, I had the same car stolen twice. After the second time, it was lost on the streets of So. Philly and when the tags expired, they finally notified me that they had found my car. Of course, the insurance company had already settled with me.

My best advice is to get a car alarm installed. Some cars come with it already standard issue, but my next car had one installed before it came off the lot. In fact, my insurance rate was lower because of the alarm.

I don't think you would want the car back if they haven't located it quickly.

I know how you feel. I was in total shock when I went to get into my car and it was gone. I thought maybe I had forgotten and left it somewhere and walked home. Slowly it sunk in! Then when the car "left the street" the second time, I knew what had happened. It was a Mazda 626 LXI - loaded with a great stereo system, leather seats etc. It just cried to be stolen! Oh well, I have a station wagon now. Not many of the creeps like wagons!

Sorry you had to go through this. It is such a rude awakening.:
