Woke yesterday morning to find my van rear ended and no offending vehicle around. I rang 101 and reported it. A passing police van decided to stop. As she was taking my details it came in over her radio that a vehicle had been abandoned with rear end damage. The police officer took away some debri that the other vehicle had left.

She said that CSI would be sent out that afternoon. They never showed and only decided to show up this morning after a nice rain fall. Took pics and swabs. Police were not interested yesterday but seem to be today.

Today i have found out the offending vehicle was stolen from a house party. And it wasnt reported stolen until after the event.

Told my insurance all of the above and this is where i come to my question.

What rights do i have if i have been hit by a stolen vehicle. It seems i will have to pay excess of £350 and i feel i will not get a good price for my vehicle after its been inspected. More than likely a write off.

Should i keep chasing the police up as they seem non urgent about things.

Insurance company im with is Swinton Van Insurance and Ageas are the under writers.

Thanks for your help in advance. Feel like im bent over a barrel at the minute.
