Bast!ds cat B'd mine because of bent forks :eek so I couldn't buy it back. Estimate was about 5k - and they quoted everything on the bike that wasn't perfect (it was a 10 yr old bike FFS). Could have got it back to its original condition for about 1k if I did it myself (well better cos that included R1 forks).
Unfortunately had no choice about telling the insurance because I couldn't afford to fix the car I damaged. Still paying on the premiums today! Would not tell insurers if I didn't have to - but you are right. Once you tell the insurers you are completely at their mercy

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
