Really am sorry to hear of your loss DZ, I know how I would feel if I lost mt gear and I haven't got a 1ds!

One very important point your post mentions though which hopefully will be of importance to others: ALWAYS STORE YOUR SERIAL NUMBERS somewhere safe in case you need to make a claim. You stand a far greater chance of getting your insurance company to play ball if you have these to show you are genuine and haven't added the odd lens or two to try and get a bit more from them.

A photographic record is also VERY useful so that you have absolute proof they were in your posession and also they were in top condition so they can't claim you deserve to lose 75% depreciation! If they try that, go for replacement items. Tell them to find you a replacement instead of giving you the money. If you do that, they usually say 'Well, YOU find the replacement and send us the details.' Either way you get the replacement paid for :o)

So desperately sorry to hear of your loss, am delighted that you had the sense to have it fully covered and hope you'll be back in action very quickly. In the meantime, if I see a Denmark listing for any of these items on Ebay, I'll check it out for any serial numbers.

Cheers,
Rob
