Between 3:45 to 6:40 this morning, my car was broken into. My CD's and my 2 extra spare car keys were taken. What should I do.

Call the non-emergency number for your local police department to report the crime. You may wish to change the locks.

If this is a late model car, just take it to the dealer and have the dealer reset the anti-theft system so those keys won't work. That won't keep them from opening the door but it will keep the key-fob transmiters from working and prevent them from stealing the car by starting it with those keys and driving off with it.
Ideally you should get your car's locks changed. This will probably cost a few hundred to have all the locks changed and new keys made. This would be covered under your comprehensive insurance.

Why in the world would you keep your extra keys IN THE CAR?
Anyway, better go to the dealer or a repair shop and get your ignition switch changed. The switch and two new keys will cost around 100.00 (in my city anyway for an older car).

Change your locks, before they realize they have the keys and can come back for the whole car any time they want. Hurry!!!
Sorry about the break in. It really screws up your morning when that happens....
BTW, were there any HOUSE keys in your car????? If so, better change those, too.

What good are spare keys locked inside the car? Did you learn anything today?

depending on the make and model of car, it could be as simple as taking you car to your dealer and having a new key made and programmed into the pcm/computer. Most newer model cars have a computer chip built into the keys and have to be programmed to the car. Look into this for your car, good luck.
Otherwise...Call the Police and don't leave your car keys in the car next time...DUH!!!

if i were you i would go and purchase a club or some other type of steering wheel lock so that regardless weather or not they get into the car they would be able to start it but not get anywhere with it,and have that on the steering wheel untill you have the door locks and ignition changed as well as the trunk lock. investing into an alarm system is a smart idea too.

Call the police and have a report filed so you can then call your insurance agency and have the file as backup. Get your car lock changed and get new keys made.

confident they're going to conceal the loss. do no longer anticipate the payoff or extreme cost for the automobile. At terrific they could pay out low e book cost. make useful that they comprehend that the keys have been stolen while the homestead replaced into broken into and that the automobile replaced into on the housebreaking rfile. this sort you're coated.

call the cops to make a police report, and park your car in a garage or keep a watch on it. I'm not sure what else you could do, other then selling the car.
