Sometimes getting things fixed isn't worth the hassle of filing a claim.
That's precisely why we get garbage stuff, because the original owners are going to leave before the problems come up. The average length of ownership is 10 years.

Agree with the claim thing. If I can fix a simple wire fence then I'd just have the person that crashed into it give me $100 or something. If the damage claim would get $1,000 from insurance though, I'd probably go that way.

I remember my dad getting $700 for a wire fence once, and that was a long time ago, and we were poor so that was a huge bonus.
