If that so, you must put in hold the procedure that was told before. First, you must contact your insurance company and let them advise you in any matter they could consider to be of importance. Then you can go through the mentioned procedure.
Ok, better check on the one before hand. Um, one more question, please. A friend's car was also recovered few weeks ago, but its plates went missing. What he needs to do in that case?
Well, your friend needs to bring a copy of form MV-78B to a DMV and apply for new plates and reinstatement of his registration.
