    I love when the value of stolen goods from a company is always based on selling price, and not actual cost to produce.

    But for regular folk, the value of an item is depreciated into oblivion when you have to report it as stolen to your insurance company!

    This harkens to a Half As Interesting video (YT or Nebula) about trains being robbed at a very particular point in Southern California, between the port and the regional rail yard.

    This sounds exclusively like the insurers’ problem.
