Default How much damage to expect?

My stolen civic was recovered. I have not seen it yet but I have been told that the rims are gone and it was towed to a lot.

How much damage can I expect from it being towed without wheels. I know they used a flatbed but what could go wrong when this is done?

I would expect some damage to the brakes and maybe lower control arms. Possibly a bent exhaust as well. However since it is a theft recovery, I would just expect the worse. Hopefully it won't be that way, but probably better to prepare yourself.

Expect the worst. Then, anything but the worst will make you feel better. Seriously though, no matter what happened to the car, your gonna think its the worst thing you have ever seen. Its YOUR car, a scratch and your gonna be pissed, let alone a theft recovery. Just hang in there and good luck.
