Which is the precise point of our contention. We're not talking
about a homeowners' or renters' policy at all, we're talking about
liability coverage. When it's robbery or "acts of God", and the
insurance company represents nobody but themselves, they are indeed
likely to dispute every item. At least in Texas, US, when there _is_ a
policyholder that's this clearly in the wrong, and the possibility of
intangible damages (pain & anguish) is very high, the insurance company
isn't likely to quibble over paying a few grand for unique equipment. Worst case, the owner of the straight-8 might need
to prove, by way
of witness affidavits, that it was functional prior to the assault.
It needn't be functional. Only that it was a complete unit in decent
shape, and its value on the market be proven through anecdotal evidence
or hard sales figures.
