Man that sucks. I hope you find that SOB. I'm probably a bit too far away, but I'll still keep an eye out for someone maybe trying to sell the parts. I wouldn't be surprised if the thief is the same *** that keyed your car.

all the parts were sitting in the car, not bolted down... the console was in the back seat.
the dash bezel they had to take off...im still not sure how they got it off without moving the shifter... that coud be why it wont start...the radio well, that's easy.
what pisses me off are the seats....they were in perfect shape. here is a pic of the driver seat before i cleaned it.
i was going to do a before and after on the cleaning...not now...lol

Update: well, i think things may be working out for me (finally), i just spoke to the insurance adjuster, he has had the hardest time in the world trying to find replacement parts for the Monte...he decided to give me just under what it would take to total the car...$6200 is what insurance said the car is worth (80% of value)...he cut me a check for $5995.98 -$100 deductible!
if i cant get the car fixed with that...i need to give up!
im still not giving up on the douche bags that stole it in the first place... i got a solid lead today, i will be checking the car out this weekend, im hoping its my stuff..if it is, that's a double bonus!
im still selling the car, i will replace the interior...im not fixing the ball joints (which aren't bad yet, the boot is dried out and slightly cracking)/struts or paint...what do you all think is a fair price to ask? 5k-6k?
engine has 77k on it
trans has 17k on it
upper/lower intake gaskets changed
BCM will be replaced (that's why she wont start right now)
k&n CAI
she still has the vacuum leak...i cant find it for the life of me...maybe the shop will be able to tell me more when they fix the BCM..

Id say u came out pretty good, & with all thats on ebay u should beable to fix it & id say prob 5500 to start at u can always lower ur price & that also puts u a lil under wat its worth so potential buyers will see that as an incentive to buy
