Hope they were insured as vintage vehicles!

I had a friend who was doing a complete restoration of a 1956 Mercedes 190 SL convertable. It was 90% done when during one night the voltage coil shorted out and caused a fire that charred the whole thing. Luckily he had it insured for $25,000 and made his claim and was reimbursed within a week to start the restoration over. Don't know what that did to his rate but I bet it went up!
