My story is not directly related to your question, but I thought it might be
interesting enough to tell anyway:
I haven't lost my collection as such, but as I moved from Ireland to Holland
the movers messed things up big time: some of the boxes opened, and on
arrival there was Lego everywhere in the truck....
As I'd only been in Ireland a few years my main collection was in Holland,
and I only had a few sets there. I ended up rebuilding every set, and made a
list of the missing pieces. I told the insurance agent that because of the
missing pieces each of the set was now next to worthless, as I could no
longer build the models. I also told him that since Lego does not sell
replacement parts it would be hard to get the missing pieces back.
He reckoned that only 3% of the pieces were missing, so I should get 3% of
the value of the sets, that's a standard rule. Because I convinced him of
the difficulty of retrieving the parts he put 10% in his report, but that
still wasn't gonna break the banks....
