What to do if your car was recovered long after it was stolen?

I have a related question: What if the recovered car still contains my personal belongings, for example, books, wallet, etc? 

Can I receive those personal belongings and how? Do I have to pay to take them back?

Thank you

Ask the insurance company - they'll have no interest in any such items.  It is possible that books and such like may still be in the car as the crooks wont have tried to sell them, but don't expect the wallet to still have any cash in it.

Have the Police arrested/charged anyone? As others have said the vehicle is the property ogf the insurance company but if you had an excess then I suppose (in theory at least) you could sue the thief if he has been found guilty. Not sure yoy will get your money.

If you didn't claim for those items under any insurance, just ask for them back. If you did then they are the property of the insurance you claimed under as well.

Thank you so much. I did not claim for any items inside the car when it got stolen.

Ask the police if you can recover your personal items before the car is moved by the insurer. Every time your car gets moved there's another person who may remove your items.
