Sorry to hear that it happened to you. Does insurance cover it and how do you it’s been stolen? Since this seems to be a big issue now, I’m wondering if car companies see this and are coming up with a solution.

Your car goes from a quiet, purring Prius to a monster truck lawnmower, so it’s pretty clear when it’s gone. Comprehensive insurance covers it, which I’d suggest. My partner and I would have spent thousands of dollars on repairs if we didn’t have it. It’s mostly Gen II Priuses that are targeted right now. It’s harder to steal from the newer cars, and/or they don’t have as much precious metals in them.

Damn, I didn’t realize it costs that much to repair. Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it

It’s possible the quote is too high, but there are other things that get damaged in the process. We’re just hoping the older Prius isn’t declared totaled because of it :(
