as everyone has said you were lucky to walk away from this, what a stunning car you had, what a lovely colour, my first mk2 gti was in great condition till joy riders in a stolen car piled into the back off it on xmas day outside my front door and wrote it off, when i got outside they had done a bunk (obviously) the B's, when i got in touch insurance company said "what you want us to do about it your 3rd party fire and theft", and then partners insurance company tried to claim off my insurance as my golf was put into the rear of his car, EH! i wasnt in the car so wtf

, luckily partner didnt pursue me for the claim, but i was told to get in touch with the Motor Insurance Bureau, see if they could help me, expained about insurance company and what happened, nice people, got my car inspected and low and behold i got £2800, £1800 for golf and £1000 compensation, was a bit of a gutter when i found out it was someone who lived around the road from me who did all this damage and he got off scot free, being a little snitch came in handy for him, seems criminals can get away with anything if they inform on other drug dealers.
