Quoted from Gorgar666:

$20,000,...no legs,,,,shrink wrapped. Stolen from a garage, guy was moving. Friend told him to hold it, then disappeared....Put on the curb and sick of it....slurring and rambling....we where able to get an address by the number...can’t remember. Was a crazy ordeal. Should have got it for. $500....think I offer 5...then he rambled on about $20,000,...no BS.

Quoted from Coindork:

Even if the machine turns up it’s kind of tainted at this point. It’s serial numbered after all.
Technically at this point if the machine actually does surfaces the insurance company is the legal owner as they paid out on the claim.
That said, an insurance company has no desire to own a rare pin.
They would liquidate it to recoup their loss if contacted. Hard to say what they would do. Perhaps contact the owner to see if he wanted it, perhaps auction it etc.

Quoted from Coindork:

Maybe so.
I’m just saying that “as is” or “as was” whatever the case may be the serial number has issues going forward that would have to be sorted out before it could trade openly.
I’ve had a couple of insurance claims over the years where items were stolen in transit and I collected on the insurance.
In two cases the items resurfaced and the insurance company was made aware and sold the items back to (thankfully at a discounted rate). Either way it cleared the title of ownership as title doesn’t legally transfer on stolen property.
