I'm sure that's the list he sent to his insurance company. He wouldn't be padding those prices a little, would he?

[txdiver]

Well, as I found out, he did not have insurance to my and his surprise...

[Me]

Ouch! Why no insurance? storage unit not insured? Yikes.

sorry for the loss.....
I would submit it to his homeowners insurance.
as long a he has recepts he has a chance of recovering some of the replacement costs
but next time get dan insurance for his equipment, or take out a rider policy under his home owners/renters insurance for the full replacemnt costs.
I know the Dan equipment insurance is inexpensive and they do pay replacement costs, fairly quick, without too much grief and aggravation.
best of luck
