Having your car stolen is one of those things that you never really expect to happen, but you should be prepared for it in the event that it does happen. With statistics showing that a car is stolen every 20 seconds in America, being prepared and knowing what to do is important.
The first thing you should do if your car is stolen is call the police. Make sure you tell them all of the information about the car as possible: year, make, model, license plate number, VIN, etc. You also want to let them know the location where the car was stolen, and if you actually saw the thief driving off in your car, note which direction the car went.
Once the police understand the situation, they will want a list of any valuables in the car at the time. The next call should be to your insurance company to let them know what happened, and make them aware that the police are involved.
