Kia boys strike again

I live just south of Waldo and my optima was vandalized overnight while sitting in the driveway. They weren’t able to steal it (I got the chip update last year) but they did manage to break off the door handles, shatter a window, and tear apart the steering column.

Insurance will cover the damage minus a $1000 deductible, but given that the car won’t even start anymore and the value of Kia’s have absolutely plummeted, who knows if it will be considered totaled or not. If so, I’m probably looking at spending $10k-$15k out of pocket for a comparable used car. Obviously I can’t afford any of this shit. People that drive Kia’s are not rich. If we were, we wouldn’t be driving fucking Kia’s.

I’m mad at Kia obviously for the whole situation to begin with but more than anything I just feel dejected. It’s sad that people can be so destructive and knowingly cause so much trouble for random people they don’t even know. I know it’s mostly teenagers doing this but that selfishness and lack of empathy is just gross.

Anyway, any other Kia victims have good luck dealing with insurance? Or getting any kind of reimbursement from Kia?
