Unhappy What will happen to her now?

I have been on this forum since 2016 lurking and finally made an account awhile back to get some parts from other members. I never made a post, wanted to but never got around to sitting down and doing it. And I’m sad to say that my first post is one of utter sadness. I bought my 10 series used in 2016 with 12,000 miles from Subaru Glendale, it was so fun bone stock. First thing I did was take her to the 33. Squealing the turanza stock tires. I kept it stock because I was making payments and couldn’t afford anything more than some winmax W2 pads and k&n air filter. She stayed that way until I got better sport comp 2 tires. Drove her like hell. Took care of her. Fast forward to this past 6 months. I was able to get some PP struts and installed those but couldn’t utilize the car because I couldn’t afford the tires I wanted, being dumb. So they were bald a f. Showing wire on 3 tires. Then I came across some Koni yellows on lowering springs and installed those. And finally this January I purchase the Pilot Sport 4s tires and had them installed. Last Friday I ordered Winmax W3 pads and new rotors. Big bill. Yet to install. Getting ready for summer and first track day it corona allows it. If not then I love the 33 and Malibu’s canyons anyway. Well, Saturday my Dad and brothers came over for drinks and to hang out for my birthday on Sunday. The plan was to drink, eat, and work on my Dad’s 1972 Chevelle. I had just purchased a new To me intake manifold and 4 barrel carb to put on it. so Saturday we spent the time cleaning the used intake and carb so that on Sunday my dad and I could install them on the car. Closed up the house for the night, chevelle in the driveway and FRS in the street, sent my brothers home. My dad stayed in the guest room. Everything was fine, mother-in-law did her nightly lockdown of the house.Wake up Sunday, come downstairs and open up the garage, the chevelle is completely gone, not in the driveway, not on the street. No where. And somehow the FRS was parked crooked in the driveway, but it had damage to the driver side wheels and front quarter and door. The rear wheel is crooked, like it has +20 toe and the front tire is hitting the inner fender. And isn’t pointing straight either. The car won’t drive. Completely bent tie rods and control. Arms and who knows what else. While my dad and I sat there trying to figure out what was going on I had to call local PD and report the Chevelle stolen. The responding officer said that someone possibly took the frs for a joyride and crashed but we couldn’t figure out why they would park it back in the driveway. I’ve filed a claim with my insurance and they’ll pick the car up tomorrow to evaluate it in Van Nuys. Do you think it’s reasonably fixable? What do you think the insurance will do. The agent I’m working with is nice and understanding. Oh. And was 900 miles past the recall work from Toyota of Oxnard. Good service time and car ran perfect. They event replaced a crank sensor supposedly. Apologies for formatting, spelling etc. I have a headache
