It's simple, someone who would do something like that is not your friend.  I'd report him and take him to court.  Should get compensation if you win he'll be ordered to pay, and as a bonus he'll lose him licence  

letting someone take your car when they dont have insurance. not what i would call bright, then crying when they write your car off. tough luck pal.

He didn't let him, he took the car without permission.  Learn to read.

smells like bull to me, why would a "friend" take your car when you are asleep knowing they are not insured. i'd put money on you letting him drive it uninsured before and therefore they thought you wouldnt mind?

am i close??

Your car was stolen, you did not give permission for him to use your car, so you can go through your insurance.

sounds like you wil b waiting a while for payments thou unless he has a nice little savings account? maybe make him get out a loan or credit card and pay you out in full straight away i no i wudnt wont 2 b waiting around

Why would the police give you compo for your mate writing off your car?

If you want some money out of him, take him to court and get him convicted for damages.

It was theft he took it without my permission while i was asleep

No licence. No insurance.

Again, why would the police give you compensation for that? Why are they at fault and owe you anything? Like I said, if you want compo take your "mate" to court, get him convicted and get him to pay damages.

I'm not sure what I'd be most angry with, the shaving of ones head or the written off car! 

Jokes aside that is awful, hope everything gets sorted out ASAP.

Must be a bit of a knob, to do that to a mates, whether you knew or not, police wont pay out, your insurance would, but there goes your no claims, I would get him to take a loan out and get the money now personally, failing that if your willing to be paitent then I'd prob look at a mk3 or polo something like that, my 16v mk3 was sweet for me had it just over the year and never broke down on me. They can be had for dirt cheap aswell

insurance wont pay out full stop. taking him to court sounds like your option.

It's a tough situation being mates but i agree with a few of the above, a real friend wouldn't do that to you no matter how pi**ed they are.
Police and court is probably the only way your going to see any payback and he'd probably do the same to you.

[bodga]

Send him to court, he is no mate to do a thing like that!

 how is he? guilty or laughing about it? He needs a slap thats theft

He will never pay you back if he doesnt cough up in the next week

Wow, Does not sound like a 'Friend'.....

Just make sure that if you take him to court it wonk screw what is left of your friendship, or has that already gone...?
What did he hit to write it off?
