I did not have to complain to the state insurance commissioner but I was prepared to do that next if they gave me any more delay. [To recap quickly, my robbery in France claim was reported to the insurance company in 16 June and they delayed payment saying they felt my "Old Leicas" should be depreciated 7% each year. That would make any equipment over 14 years old valueless!] Still a couple issues to resolve -- like the coverage for some replacement items already purchased. Thanks to all the Luggers who responded with advice and support. I will investigate a new company as see if I can find one that does not have so much difficulty paying legitimate claims.
