I'll take one Billy Joel outta my burning house and into court.
Sue his ass.
Sure he'll be back, with a vengeance. But by then I'll take out security footage, cigar and a revolver and walk his ass back into court with style.
In the end, I'll take out my pet, external hard drive with incriminating evidence that may or may not be destroyed in the fire, and probably the most expensive wine in the house to celebrate with Mr Billy Joel, because I bought up so much fire insurance that I'll probably get triple the amount loss in the fire. Insurance fraud becomes a nay-nay when Billy Joel was found somewhere in the premises, but there isn't enough evidence now to incriminate him, and my cartel for illegal substances gets busted by Joel because he seized said incriminating evidence. The banks froze my account indefinitely until I walk into court, but I won't do so until Billy get whats coming to him....
