UPS Theft?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sent 4 Shimano rods via UPS out there to CA Shimano, Irvine for warranty replacement. Had them in a long box I had received from another rod company. Well packaged.
Didn't even think of insurance, wasn't asked at the UPS center here. Replaced about $750 in rods.
Needless to say, it looks like the rods we're stolen by someone with UPS. Shimano refused delivery because it was only 1/3 of the original box empty with clear tape covered over a perfectly cut end.
Filed a claim today. What a joke talking with a claim representative who always tried to skewer the facts. Wonder if I should file a police report? If I thought it was on this end, MN, I would. But I doubt it, looks like it was in CA.
Live and learn.
