I will post what the adjuster says tomorrow. He just said he would be at my house in the morning on Monday.
BTW-Does anyone know what category all of this would fall under? Would it be uninsured/underinsured property damage -or- comprehensive/collision?

it falls under comprehensive... there was no moving collision... i had the same thing happen to me except they stole my radio... vandalism falls under comprehensive...
the thing is, and this is why rates go up on the premium, its easy to fake a comprehensive claims... u can take out your own radio, and say someone else stole it.... there is no way to prove it... where when u have an accident there is usually a police report... BUT the rates still go up...there i NO winning with insurance companies

That is such BS what happened to your car.
I've had two cars vandalized myself and it is such a hassle. Getting everything fixed is so time consuming, and almost always in the end it doesn't look as as good as it did before.
I hope everything works out for you man.

At least you will be using an elite body shop.

After I get my RS I'm gonna make it as stealth as possible. I'm gonna debadge it. Powdercoat the wheels/calipers/intercooler black. Getting evo7 tails. After that I'm getting a gps alarm and some other goodies. Might have to get removable steering wheel and lock also.
