When an FBI investigation requires the premeditated destruction of private property, the agent in charge will try to work out a compensation package ahead of time. They will get together with the property owners and a field office lawyer to negotiate a fair deal-the field office can approve any payment of up to $10,000. Anything more than that goes to FBI headquarters in Washington. Otherwise, an administrative claim can be filed with the local bureau field office. You can ask for reimbursement as a third party-if you had no connection to the crime under investigation-or you can argue that the damage to your property did not result from reasonable law enforcement action. Owners often elect to go to their insurance companies first and let the insurers handle any claims against the government. The latter is especially true, if a warrant had to be secured under exigent circumstances.
