Coffee Maker & Sewing Machine should be replaceable

Currently, you can have the coffee maker and sewing machine destroyed (bombs will destroy them, possibly other ways as well) and since they are one-time items, there is no way of getting them back (unless you are lucky enough to realize the loss in time and know that you can load the previous day's save).

From looking at the responses in the bug report, it doesn't seem to be a "bug" so much as a "well, tough luck, be more careful with your special stuff!" sort of thing.

I would like to suggest that a way should be added to get these back.

Suggestions:
(1) lost special items of this type show up in the Mayor's lost and found box,
OR
(2) You get a new mail message the next morning enclosing a new machine,
OR
(3) The quest that originally got you the item is unlocked again for replaying.

The sewing machine yes, but you can actually make your own coffee machine with just a hopper, keg and some coffee beans, you can make unlimited of them and then they can be more than just a novelty item.

I'm already in favor of machines being indestructable, but receiving mail with "I heard your (machine name here) has been destroyed, so here's a new one." works, too.
That or make it high priced, so players can always buy them for like 10K or such.
If one want balance by not being able to buy more than 1 at the same time(for a way lower price, of course, like 150g, what a coffee sells for), it can be added to a shop as soon as the player has none anymore.

The Sewing Machine isn't bad to be bought like the Workbench after receiving the first one, but maybe the Coffee Maker only shows up in the list of products, like at Pierre's, if the first one broke or was discarded.
So whether you destroyed yours, or threw it away, you can always buy one again.

Kind of like the way the iridium statue of perfection works but buying instead of just interacting for a second time.
That can be tricked though and I have 60 just for the novelty of it.
