So far theft has not been a problem. I do not smoke. So far the dog has not bitten anyone, most are too afraid to get close enough. ;-) It is fairly quiet here in Small Town USA. Gene "B. D.

D. Have not had that happen yet. My last claim was 2 years ago and they replaced my $3000 ham transceiver and several other items such as refrigerator, dishwasher, and stove which were all destroyed by lightning, without even a hint of argument.

I have had to replace some pretty expensive radio equipment in the past and the insurance replaces it with little or no questions. So far I've not had to replace any cameras this way, but I do not worry at all if such a thing ever happens.

If you make a living from them, you have to buy a different type of insurance, a business policy.
