To be honest though, unless the burglar knew a)you had a load of records and b)
knew about records themselves it's unlikely that they'd steal them because
they're bulky and heavy. It's much more likely that they'll

one day I'm gonna catch some 12 yr old dangling half way outside my spare

I insure mine through HSBC (yes, the bank). It's part of my house insurance
which allows me to claim up to £50,000 worth of contents. I explained to them
that if I sold them each (or had to buy them again) then it would cost me about
£15,000. They asked if any one of them was worth more than

Mine are covered under my contents insurance. Just so I'm sure about this I
send a letter to whoever my insurer is at the time specifying the contents
of my flat including £30K of records. The insurers usually say they're only
interested in large individual value items being specified but
Speaking of, it seems like I heard Derrick Carter lost his house/record
collection to a fire a few years back. Anyone know about this or am I
dreaming this up?

records, you need to call them and ask because I know someone who thought
this but didn't get the value of his collection, what he got was the cost to
replace them at face value - so instead of £40 for one collectors copy of

I believe if you get renter's insurance you can declare your records as a
valuable, in which case they would be covered if stolen... which reminds me, I
need to get renter's insurance.
No idea if you're a homeowner, and things are probably different in the UK
anyways.

Yes Robin, you're right about DC losing a large portion of his
tunes in a
fire.

I know that the records in my house are covered in our insurance, but
not all of our records. When I originally got my insurance, I had to
estimate how many records we owned. Our insurance will only cover so
many vinyl records, these are considered collectables and for any
additional coverage
