then your infallible good for you ,even though that shop owner has more at risque than just one car the challenger in question .it was burnt not at a show or in public view, its not just about a hunk of steel. im sure that a shop owner shares the same concerns as you do, and with so much more at risque hes probably as cautious as you or more .my point that others got with ease was there are no gaurantees in life also more homes burn than shops we have annual fire inspections homes dont. before i end this in the last two years i had a customer that was a perfectionist his 32 ford fell off his trailer, an engineer hit his door opener and dropped the door on his cuda another had his two car garage locked up nice and tight it got hot and a paint can blew a lid you can guess the rest all perfectionist with a plan dust to dust.c

Not here to talk about this and go off topic, fact of the matter is you said (and quoted my post, hence my response), "no matter were you put it ,its out of your control " and I said this is wrong. I know how I look after my cars and what my garage has in terms of "risk" vs. a shop and to answer your original question no, no it's not totally out of my control. There will always be risks but these are halved when I'm in full control of my assets. To think it's safer elsewhere, to me, is laughable at best.

Who's to say he's more cautious? My car(s) mean the world to me, you don't need money and 12 cars to share an equal passion. I know shops burn and no need to patronise me with "my point that others got with ease" BS, there was only 1 post after your comment. If you'd like to talk about this more feel free to PM me so we can keep this topic ON topic. Otherwise we'll agree to disagree on this one.

After working in the insurance industry for a few years only
 - claims, repairs & settlements for auto & home-

I think it best that all parties involved have insurance and ensure that it is appropriate insurance
for an individual &/or business circumstances for replacement of items and legal liability. However, it is up
to each individual and/or business to get the correct and most appropriate insurance out there for their
circumstances. I know it costs money but, if you do have it then, you have no worries.

If you have the right insurance then, let the insurance companies work it out for all parties, as that what you pay for.

Settlement money (from an insurance claim) does not replace material items or businesses, but it is there if you choose it.
