Fourmile Fire Victim Sues Insurance Company For Denying Coverage

Debra St. Claire -- who owns St. Claire's Organics Inc., which makes organic and vegan breath mints, herbal sweets, candies and lozenges -- said she obtained commercial business property insurance from Sentry Insurance in 2009, according to a lawsuit filed in Boulder District Court on Monday.

This sounds suspect to me:
 
including a $500,000 limit for "property at any location," including property that is not at the address listed in the policy's description of premises.
 
What insurance coverage would ever have a policy like this?  So she could build a business into the side of an active volcano and still be covered at no extra charge?

If that's a photo of Debra St. Claire with her back to the camera, she's got a nice butt.
