Fair comment Rolf, But hey, It's 100% insured regardless of WHO steals it. What you explain below can happen, but if it does I get all my gear replaced at the specified value. So, really, I don't care. In the end I'll still have the gear that I have now

Maybe I'm just paranoid, but while it's great to be covered, it's also an open invitation for potential theft if someone get access to your details. I've worked as software developer in a large insurance company and there was no limit to the customer data that I could get access to. They also had all the old records of previous customers, which they actually were legally obliged to delete but obviously never did. Is it unthinkable that someone in an insurance company might try to use this data to their advantage? Or maybe sell the information to someone who would?
Now it has to be said that personally my astro gear is not worth anything close to yours, and I also don't travel with it, so I can definitely understand why you'd want proper insurance, but still just something to think about. |
