My camera insurance (Alte Leipziger Versicherung AG) covers theft, loss, and all kinds of accidental damage, practically every conceivable kind of mishap with the only exception of simply forgetting the camera on a train or elsewhere (literally "liegengelassen"). Further conditions: no coverage if stolen from the car between 11 pm and 7 am, and the gear must not be visible from outside of the vehicle (and even this latter condition is waived for rented cars). When I dropped my 6x17 panorama camera in France, over Xmas, they paid the repair after I simply faxed them a copy of the price estimate from Nikon. No further questions asked. In fact, I had the money on my account even before Nikon had completed the repair. Ralf -- Ralf R.
