I sympathize with those who, for one reason or another, were unable to
protect their aircraft or to move them to a safe location

Why? Those people generate insurance losses that cost us all money.

Looking at it in the light of reality, there will be engines and other
goodies available when the insurance companies put the scrap up for sale on
Barnstormers.com.

And the insurance companies will make up for their loss with higher
premiums; a direct expense for owners, and additional costs to FBOs which will
immediately translate into higher rental rates for non-owners.

You are right about that!
