Answer 1

If you expect the insurance company to compensate you for it you do.

Answer 2

In most cases around the world reporting an incident like a stolen vehicle to your insurance company is strongly recommended.

Answer 3

oh yes,  it's required in some states that you do :)

for the insurance, yes.

for others - I don't know?

Answer 4

Obviously if you want to claim!

If the car has been retrieved and returned undamaged, then possibly not.

check the Insurance Policy, not the certificate, the policy.

Dont expect to claim if later you find damage that was not imediadetly apparent at the time, but later discovered, unless the original theft was reported.

Answer 5

yes!

of corse your going to want to if the car comes back damaged your not going to want to pay

Answer 6

Yes, you do.

Answer 7

you need to call the police and report your car stolen so you can have a report done up and then call your insurance people

Answer 8

Why wouldn't you want to?  Don't you want to file a claim on it?  If you don't want to file a claim on it, at least cancel the insurance on it.  No point in paying it if you don't have the car.

Answer 9

Only if you want insurance on it.
