My pelican case was in my trunk and my car was broken into last night. I hadn't listed the gear on my homeowners insurance as of yet and it's all gone! Any suggestions?

Hahn sorry to hear that bro. I hope you get your stuff back. I don't have any suggestions, but if you post what was taken, I would be more than happy to keep an eye out for it. <BR>

That really sucks ! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/angry.gif" border=0> Will your Auto insurance cover it ?

You're telling me.

You may be OK as long as you have receipts. You have 30 days to notify them when you buy a car so hopefully that will apply to your gear as well. The reason I know that is I bought a car a few years ago with about 50% cash down and it was stolen that night. Boy was I freaked out until my agent told me that!

sonuva!!!!!!!! sorry to hear that dude. hope those guys (or girls) get what's comin' to them! <BR> <BR>thieves suck much ass!!! <BR> <BR>a few years ago, i had my car broken into. taken were $3000 in stereo equipment, 60+ cds, clothes from the night before (spent the night at my friend's house...they even took my dirty underwear!!!) and miscellaneous things. i claimed everything in my homeowners' insurance, tho i only had receipts for the stereo stuff. insurance company gave me money for everything i claimed! so you may have some luck!

No Buneo! Sorry to hear about that. <BR> <BR>For obvious reason you'll need to file a police report so the insurance company has something to go off of. <BR> <BR>Do you have homeowners/renter's insurance? That will cover it. (If asked... your gear was for hobby use, not PRO work!) <BR>

kung fu, get back to work! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/angry.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>jk! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

hope you get your stuff back, that sucks.

Do you guys think Amex will cover it? Does anyone know what Amex's insurance policy is? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by solo on April 08, 2005)

Amex's purchase protection covers it for the first 90 days. I just turned in a claim for an ibook one of our employees broke. Call them at 800 322 1277 and they'll tell you if you're covered and will start a claim for you.

I submitted a claim today and they say it will be processed in two weeks or less.

Thank God!

glad to hear they'll cover ya! <BR> <BR>Sorry for your loss, bro. <BR> <BR>

Hahn, where did you lose it! You just got that camera not to long ago too. Thats to bad, luckily the insurance will cover it. Give us a call if you wanna shoot or ride.
