Here's how you measure whether the card really has that much value:
- Victim claims on insurance for card.
- Insurance pays out $8,000.
What does the victim now do? If he doesn't replace his card, but instead buys himself a nice overseas holiday or a second hand car it similar, we know the card isn't really worth $8,000.
Personally, I'd be surprised if he spent the $8,000 on a replacement card.
