FWIW

I checked with my insurance agent the other day on this one.  Here's what he
said:

1) It's all covered under the personal property part of your homeowner's
policy anywhere in the world.  The amount of your coverage is usually
calculated as a percent of your home's value.  If you need more, you have to
buy a rider.
2) Good idea to have receipts.  Lacking that, all your serial numbers,
description, and even a picture of your gear.  The good news with Leica,
Hasselblad, Nikon, etc. is there is a ready market in used gear so
establishing a value is easy.
3) You need a police report or similar to make a claim.
4) It's all subject to your deductible.

That's what I was told.  Might even be right.
