I would imagine homeowners insurance will cover it. Unbelievable

Start a fire in the fireplace!

Was he on drugs? I can't imagine someone with a full complement of neurons actually believing the flue is man-sized...

Insurance never actually covers the total costs of repairs.

It doesn't look that small from the outside and it doesn't have a cap on it like most modern-homes. So I can see an idiot thinking 'here's an idea!'

This. Deductible will be between $1,000 and $5,000. That’s a lot for most people to come up with simply because some jackass wanted to steal their stuff.

I probably would’ve let his stupid a$$ die in there before I called the police. Less damage removing a dead body, and he’ll never victimize anyone else again.

We have a $2K deductible so I'd be pissed.

The deductible is certainly an issue. There may be some crime victims funds that would help out. And it is certainly worthy of a go fund me.

As to letting someone die in your chimney, the damage would most certainly be worse given how bad a dead body would smell. And most people are not that callous.

There’s got to be more to the story. This would be an insane way to break into a house. The person must know them and/or be mentally ill.

It’s not just the deductible. Pretty nailed on that once they file a claim their premiums will go up.

The county should fine the homeowner for not having a chimney cap. The thief should sue for unlawful detention. /s
