Doesn't that depend on the kind of insurance policy they subscribed to?
Obviously, hence "perhaps".
In the highly unlikely event that there is no insurance cover, the local municipality will probably have a budget for that equipment.
Why is that relative to you or this thread?
It is not "relative" (whatever that means) to anything, I'm just curious about how much is at stake as you chose to go public with the subject which makes it relevant. Not my fault if it embarrasses you.
Does Immigration law state that using an agent is not permitted? It has never been an issue for many decades so why are you expecting "surprises" or are you just fear-mongering?
