The stupidity of insurance companies never ceases to amaze me: do they really think that a hotel room is more secure than a safe in a vehicle fitted with tracker and immobiliser? I have failed to find an insurance company that will even discuss security requirements for professional digital equipment in unattended vehicles: you can get systems that can track stolen vehicles by satellite.
