At the risk of stating the obvious, it's not unusual to
photograph something of value for insurance purposes, and
of course this has to be done before it is lost. What's
wrong with asking if you have any proof that the item was
in the box? Perhaps you have the photo, perhaps you don't.

Fraud has to be foremost in the mind of anyone receiving
and processing claims like this. For that matter, anyone
selling or shipping anything must be wary of this, too.

If you sold 20 pounds of old computer junk to someone on
eBay, and they claimed the box only had 3 pounds in it
when it arrived, wouldn't it help to have a picture of
the junk in the box before the box was taped for shipment?
