Stanj, I do have the box
You don't get to insure things in the rental business, unfortunately.
There is, however, some good news, I'm now told: we've located a 50mm f/1.0 that has good glass, but it's electronics burned out (and they aren't made anymore) so hopefully we'll be able to make one live one out of those two.

It was a renter: mounted it in front of a video camera, if I understand correctly, and the whole thing toppled forward. Being a video guy, he was happy to inform us that our lens had protected his camera in the fall so they were still able to get their footage with another lens
If it had been an employee I suspect they'd have taken the evidence with them when they disappeared in the middle of the day. But for people who sometimes ask "Why do you have padded carpet in a warehouse", well, here's the answer.

Ouch! How much was the security deposit on that bad boy?
None. We don't do security deposits. The renter (like almost all of us) is a standup guy. We'll work out some payments when we figure out what the cost is. He'll actually be OK since we should be able to create a new one in house for the cost of the broken one.
