If it was given to you then yes, you can claim for it.

ok im presuming my insurer would want the receipt and accept that he brought it for us ? may would they need to talk to my son ? thanks for your quick reply

They wont need the receipt as you still have the broken TV. Only if for some reason they think its a friends/ neighbours etc that you are trying to claim off of your insurance because they are uninsured would the question of ownership come up.

It is when goods are stolen when proof that they ever existed comes up

Check your policy to see if accidental damage to TVs is cover as not all policies do.
