[Leica] IMG: Streetstuff

[leicam4pro at yahoo.com (John Biava)]

Many years ago, shortly after I married, I checked on the cost of insurance 
for my stuff.  The company balked and wanted to charge me a little more than 
10% of the replacement value per year.  That policy would have cost as much 
as a new lens each year !   I decided I would take the risk and just be 
cautious....
   
  My view:  It pays not to advertise what you are carrying.  Keep a low 
profile and be cautious.

  Same here, my cameras are insured as part of my home insurance for full 
replacement cost. Its only a tool, albeit an expensive tool, but insure it 
and forget it.
