Reading just the first page of the readers' comments at the end of the article indicates they don't buy this idiotic comment either. In fact, most of them sound like this thread, so there's still hope for Arizona.
It’s treated as a theft - the insurance company is responsible for any damages (if he has comp) during the theft, and thus owes the polocy holder for repairs less deductible.
Good point.
The dead goblin's family should have to pay the deductible.
Plus it would be his "homeowner's" policy at least in Texas.

Thought he was running over a BP Agent.
I wonder if it would be possible to sue the robber’s estate or his family for the deductible.
It is. Your insurance company will also do this, if it believes it can recover damages.
