In the event of a fire evacuation are your leased equipment boxes on your emergency list of things to grab on the way out? I recently read an article where people had their houses burned down in a...

If someone were to take you to court to make you pay for the value of an item that was destroyed, missplaced, etc. then depreciation would be used to calculate the amount you owe the original owner...

A. Homeowners insurance should cover it.

The issue clearly isn't compensation for property loss, rather demanding insanely excessive compensation on something that is valued at a few hundred bucks at most, probably less if you take into...

What they charge (MSRP or whatever) is immaterial to this scenario, the subscriber is responsible for the equipment whether it is stolen, lost, broken or burned up. The provider has two states for...

Actually what they charge is material since legally they are only responsible for the value of the equipment at the time of the fire. But of course, you either didn't read or completely ignored my...

Depreciation is for tax purposes. Even if the device is full depreciated by Verizon, it still has value.

I do agree that the amount sounds excessive, but that is, in fact, how much they owe unless it goes to court and a court determines he owes less. The "value of the equipment" at the time of the fire...

I am not sure why this is a bad thing. Are they just supposed to eat the loss for something you are responsible for? It is not wrong, neither morally or legally to expect you to pay for the box if it...
