Depot de Plainte?

[Tillergirl]

I had my car stolen yesterday[:'(] and lovely local Gendarme surprisingly found it within a couple of hours of me reporting it gone and caught the people who took it as well.

As you can imagine by head was a blur yesterday and didn't really understand a lot of what the Gendarme said to me.[8-)] As far as I know at the moment he has given me a Depot de Plaint form and I am supposed to phone a service d'aide aux victims. But after that I don't know what it is I am supposed to do and being hearing impaired me and phones not a good combination. That and I would say my french is just moving from basic into intermediate zone.

Can any of you give me any ideas what it is I am supposed to do?

Thanks for the link and translation google aswell.

But now I am a bit confused surely reporting the theft and giving a statement at the gendarmerie yesterdays is regidtering the complaint or whatever.

I will type what is on the form Gendarme gave me yesterday as i won't attach to post.

Thank you Clair,

So by the looks of things I don't neccessarily need to ring anyone until I hear back from Bolougne then. Am I right?
