They tore all the fender flares and aluminum off of it, led light bar, cut a bunch of wires under the dash and so on. The back seat was full of food, baby items like a car seat and toys as well as blankets clothing and of course drug paraphernalia and addiction support info. Its all up to the adjusters now, fingers crossed that it can be fixed. Im not sure about he mechanical yet. it still needs to go to the shop for assessment. Thank you everyone for your comments and concerns.

Hope it's written off.
I had the same experience years ago...a Dodge that was stolen out of my garage and found 3 weeks later on a reservation...stripped of many of the easily removed parts.
The insurance company decided it could be fixed.
But the fine fellows who had if for those three weeks had literally run the crap out of it and it had an engine knock that was not there before it was stolen.
Even had my mechanic provide a letter that stated at the last oil change done about a month before it was stolen the engine was fine.
The insurance companies take...it had 110000 km on it...it would not be out of the norm to have an engine knock at that mileage, so they would not pay for an engine rebuild.
They fixed all the bodywork and such up just fine...but after a couple of months of it burning a litre of oil every 800km I sold it.
