Nice going. last year when a car totalled my bike, I got 80 percent of it's value cause it was 2 years old, and it was appraised by a bike shop. I could likely have replaced it for twice what I got in insurance so you did well. I should have claimed for mental anguish or something. Ok, back to cameras. My wife assured me that our insurance would cover all my camera stuff but she's not concerned about listing all serial numbers or having photos and these lists kept off premises. Gotta make a list and take photos of everything we have of value - tying string around finger. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
