make sure you have your stuff insured...

[bigcountry]

I recently came home to find that my house had been broken into.

The main things missing were my safe which had a large amount of money in it, and over $20,000 in camera equipment.

My advice to each and everyone of you, make sure your stuff is insured!

that's awful to hear. any leads from the police?

[Exposure101]

Oh wow I'm very sorry to hear about that! Hope you get everything resolved soon.

[bigcountry]

low priority for the police.

And your safe is bolted down. Sorry to hear about this crappy situation. I hope you get your stuff returned soon.

My camera gear is insured.

Man, that sucks man. Hope they catch these idiots.

Because it was stolen out of your house, wouldn't homeowners insurance cover the loss?

how much are you all payin for insurance? i've only got about 2500 worth

[CanonXtiDude]

can someone please point me to the direction of camera insurance. And how much would it cost for about 8,000 of camera gear. Thanks.


How exactly does camera insurance work? Since I buy most of my items off craigslist and have no receipts for them how would it work?

i currently use state farm. since i make a living doing it, i had to get a separate rider for the camera gear. $23,000 cost me about $350 a year i think.

Make sure you understand your policy as well.

No offense, but another idea could be to get your house secured better.

It's not like they came thru an open window, they kicked down my back door.

but good call. alarm system installed, security cameras on their way.

No offense, but another idea could be to get your house secured better.Ask any burglary detective and he'll tell you that very little will deter a professional, and very little is needed to deter an amateur. Lights are a biggie -- motion detector lights.

I use Hill & Usher (http://packagechoice.com/index.jsp#htwms) for my insurance. I haven't filed a claim (thank God).

Hi, I just posted in another thread information from NANPA regarding their member benefits insurance.

Was the safe not secured to the floor or a stud?
