Geico insurance estimated repair work . Guess , what ! Just $ 5,000.00 it seems to me not much, right

I can't see that there is any body damage at all on the car in this picture. That tire is toast, but that's a whole 'nother sort of problem.

I think you're onto something here. The folded boxes will give them much more protection.

No; they're stealing cars all over Anchorage, so you have to be really careful. What I would do to help prevent that is to leave the hail cover on the car with the folded cardboard boxes under it so that the car is easier to spot after it's stolen. There's a guy in Anchorage who goes and gets stolen cars and this will help him find yours easier.
