Missing/stolen/disappeared/gone.

Assume they all get added onto the insurance claim?

Xcavator, you potentially have a legitimate claim against the third party ie the driver who caused the accident. If you have details of his/her insurer - write to them. If you don't, contact your insurer as they will have it. Your insurer will be attempting to recover their loss. You need to explain to the TP insurer that you have suffered losses that are not covered by your comprehensive motor vehicle policy then document the items and the lengths you have gone to to recover them.

Under the circumstances (as I understand them) the TP insurer should be prepared to respond.

Good luck.
