I know this will not help you recoup your GTOs, but at least no human life was lost...material can be replaced...Good luck on getting at least your money back from the insurance so you can search for their replacements...

I can't imagine how you must feel. Praying everything was well insured and the Ins. company doesn't try to beat you out of it!

Man that is horrible. I hope insurance is able to at least take some of the sting out of that loss.

Yes this does suck but look at it this way. If you have good insurance coverage, and can prove stated value and not market value, then you can actually make money off this situation. Cars have fallen in value and if you have stated value, you can go and buy another car for less.
