In a way, I can see their point - if a government agency/authority trashes your stuff, they should compensate you for it.

Stated much better and more succinctly than my version!

Yes, but the reason you have insurance is so you don't have to deal with this stuff. If you are hit by a drunk driver and you have car insurance, you file a claim with your insurer and let them fight with the alcoholic. It is almost impossible to get any money at all out of the government. They have lawyers whose have nothing else to do but make sure you get little or nothing. You should get paid from your insurance company and let them deal with the government.

The function of an insurance company is to compensate you for your losses. Frequently these losses are caused by third parties who are liable. The insurance company compensates the insured, then seeks compensation from the party who caused the loss.
I have used State Farm for years, but I'm going to check on this exclusion.
