Detroit - Hire Car got stolen

Overnight. Just broken glass left in road.
Filing a policereport

At least we only lost a pair of glasses and 2 child seats.  We had full insurance. We took out camera and scooters.
So low impact overall

What happens is window is smashed. an old car is used to push the car a few blocks away. They then nick the wheels. As MOT is not required in Detroit there are a lot of cars that can push and not worry about the impact. So for 2 nights the car was with another one just behind it so it was safe from pushing. But not last night. Also if we had kerbed the wheels ie point them towards kerb then the pushing method wont work.
Oh well
60$ damage waiver was a sound investment

And we looked out the window early enough this morning to firstly file a report and secondly get another car and then get to the airport in time
Xxx
