High End Equipment Security and Insurance???


It worries me sometimes that someday somebody will break in to my house and take all my Audio stuff. What does everybody do to protect their expensive equipments specially high end audio stuff? Do you write down the serial#? Does the home insurance pay for it if it got stolen? How do you prove to them that you have all these expensive audio stuff? How much do you claim specially for used equipments you bought on the net? I want to hear from you guys.
Thanks,
Royy

Your home owners policy will cover theft/fire to a cap limit. The best thing you can do is have a separate rider for all your audio gear, as a separate item. When it comes to claim value for used gear, the insurance companies use fair market value. It's important to have a receipt from the seller.
To the above post I would add videotape with narration not only your audio gear but also everything in your home. Keep this tape in a lockable location other than your home.
I suggest buying speakers so large that the thieves tip them, killing themselves in the process.
Well, Albertporter, I had one almost that good some years ago. Thieves made off with a great deal from my house, including the living room sofa; but they were never able to get my Altec Lansing 500W1 Voice of the Theatre speakers more than a foot from their original positions. Maybe they got hernias!
