I will break stuff intentionally going forward as Standard Bank does not pay accidents.

A Power outage deleted my garage door motor sensor memory. The door closed on an obstruction where it usually stops with the sensor and crushed the panels. I submitted a claim - Standard Bank approved the claim and sent an assessor and a technician to quote. 3 days later they revoked the claim saying that they don't cover accidental incidents. I'm wondering whether I should've rather told them I did it with intention? This is a ****.
