Good luck with the repairs, could very easily be a right off though, depends on structural damage on the front members and suspension.

I will not be leaving my keys there any more! They are staying in my pocket.
I am more angry with the idiot in my building that let them in than the no hopers that did it TBH. The poor girl in flat 9 was there with her toddler when they were rattling her door and she is terrified that they will come back. I can take solace in the fact that it was his only chance to drive a nice car in his whole life and he will most likley never get the chance again
<crosses fingers>
I really hope they don't write it off. Modifry bits stereo and diff (if I get the diff back) would need to be fitted again.
The pump was definately stuffed, I am not sure about the wishbones etc...
What happens if I insist on a full geo and the bushes are siezed? Might I get them sorted at the same time?
Car went to honda on a flatbed last night so I am awaiting an estimate.

When this gets to the stage of repair, speak to the body shop about the geometry and offer CoG's services at that point. It is Xmas and Chris may require plenty of notice.
Hopefully your car will be better than before.
For the record different insurance companies have different views on repairing cars. Some go up to 2/3 the market value of the car before it goes Cat D (write off) some only 50% of MV.
This should give you between

Sorry to hear the news, push the police to charge them for the car and the courts can get them to pay up for the damage. I got repaid for the damage to one of my cars that way after it was vandalised.
Looking at that damage it is easily fixable, I don't think it will be wrote off. I had some similar damage to my car earlier this year and the fix came in at just under

My deepest condolences. Such a level of violation must leave one pretty far king seething.
Still, at least you have the name & address of the one (or both); or yo will after court.
I would have no compunction...
