So last week one of my crews was working and were standing about 100' from our survey instrument in an unpopulated spot along a creek. A couple of homeless guys come out of the woods and grab the total station (Leica MS50 scanning 1" total station), still attached to the tripod, and toss it about 12' onto some riprap rocks then run. My crew chases the guys and successfully catches one of them and follows the other. Thanks to the local PD for a quick response, they are both facing felony charges (this thing is expensive!). Now to deal with all the insurance crap...the fun as a business owner never ends!

Can it be fixed?
Gee it looks like if you didn't have bad luck you would have no luck at all.
Which might have been better in the long run.
Good luck dealing with this.
OMG that is a tragedy.
Glad your hands could run fast enough to catch the heathen.
I hope the police report states that the guy they caught suffered near fatal injuries from an apparent fall.
They were well restrained but a good knee to the back held the drunk s#%t down.
Not fixable...frame is bent optics won't spin, radio handle won't come off.

Prolly not. I'll post mon a pick of mine which hit some flagstone. After 3 months in the shop and being sent straight to the manufacturer, it was deemed to be unfixable. The numbers sometimes were good then other times weren't. 🙁
Wow! Sorry man...that sucks
I don't think I'd want it back even if someone decided it was repairable. There's just too much that can go wrong from an impact like that, even if it doesn't all show up at once. I'd press strongly for the insurance company to total it.
:excruciating::-@:pissed::pissed::pissed::pissed::pissed::-(:-(
DON'T LOOK, ETHEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are some things in this world that we should never see. Then, you can't "unsee" them. That is a prime example. Sort of like the scene in Dirty Grandpa with Robert DeNiro reclined in his easy chair when his grandson walks in the room.
Maybe we could break the drunks, in pieces, and sell the body parts.... you know, somebody out there needs a heart, and somebody else needs a hand.... ! Just getting sentimental! I am not sure that their hearts were in the right place, ya know! Or that any part of them would be salvageable....
Congratulations, you will most likely get a new MS60 out of it! It'll be worth the paperwork. Way to go on the citizens arrest : D

I was thinking more along these lines.

If insurance company tries to fix it, have them cover the E&O for all work completed with the repaired instrument.
