thermostat stuck, engine melted 850 1994

I feel for you bro!
If the engine overheated to the point where something melted, wouldn't it have blown a hose or something first? Or maybe steam coming from the hood, loss of power or "smoking exhaust". Most thermostats get stuck in the open position so a malfunctioning water pump, faulty sensor or broken belt I would tend to believe.
Call me paranoid, but I'm leeeery bout the repair guys.
