Car broken into... won't start..
Ok guys, need your help...
Last night my car ('90 IROC-Z) was broken into, and they attempted to steal it.
They gained access by pulling the passengers side window outward and sliding a hand down to the lock release. Once inside, they broke open the steering colum and attempted to hot-wire it... but failed (thank *** I have a '90 w/ the built in key-chip).
Anyway, the car is totally dead.. no lights or anything, which means the security code has probably been tripped (I did it on accident a year ago and the exact same thing happened, dead car).
Now, my question is... can I unplug the battery to reset the car? Or is it totally shut down cuz of the broken steering colum?
Also, the car is in my dad's name and I just found it was broken into about 10 mins ago, should I call the cops now? or wait for him to get home (within the hour)?
Thanks a ton
