Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

The two metal tubes that you describe may be the resistors which are normally fastened to the chassis with clips. They affect when the fans behind the radiators are turned on, and at which of the two speeds.

I would agree that you will have to have a lot of ammo to fight the insurance company - if the front boot (trunk) area has been damaged you can be sure that the suspension (front and rear) will have taken a hammering.
Your OPC in the area is a good start for loading your gun - failing that a specialist like Autofarm or Redline Racing (I think they're in Cleveland - is not too far from you ??). You will have to pay up front, but you may need their expertise to verify ALL the damage......
Best of luck - I hope the scrotes get terminal hemorrhoids for their thievery......
