Your insurer will wait 30 days before compensating you. This is normal in case your vehicle is recovered by the police.
Many stolen vehicles are, in fact, abandoned shortly after they are stolen.
If your car is not recovered, the insurer will discuss the replacement or reimbursement terms and conditions for your car
with you. These conditions are spelled out in your policy.
