All-risk listing is actually quite affordable (added to your homeowners) when you factor in the potential things that can occur to photo gear and the places you go with it. An umbrella liability rider (even covers libel) is almost a requirement in these litigious times and specified coverage on expensive gear like-a Leica (pun intended) owner accumulates is a very rational expense. I lost some pricey gear (medium format stuff) last year along with tools and a new high-end mountain bike, so I know the violated feeling of losing property of some value to theft. I'm glad I wasn't home or I'd likely be doing 10-20 on a murder rap! Within a week, I had a check for the complete loss and my sour attitude of the event was lifted a bit, anyway. Let's hope for another LUG recovery success!
