Last year, Jose and Josefina Munoz bought a home with a dwelling replacement value of $250,000 and insured it (via an HO-5 policy) for $225,000. The policy reimburses actual cash value and has a $500 deductible, standard limits for coverage C items, and no scheduled property. Recently, burglars broke into the house and stole a new computer with a current replacement value of $1,500 and an estimated useful life of three years.
