what experience do you have with insurance companies and your high end.

when i got my latest policy and at each years renewal, i ask them if
my $$$$$ dollar systems are a problem. they always say no.

as a lot of know, i destroyed my shinon red. the company, after getting
over the leap that 1" X 3/4" X 1/2" of metal will cost a grand to replace,
has been stalling. 

the last i heard was "gee, we cannot find your policy, we will phone you
within seconds of finding it."  that was two weeks ago. my local broker is
on their back, but it looks like they are trying to figure out a way to 
not pay. they have been playing games such as not returning calls, lying 
etc.

what do people do out there to protect their systems? i am talking
about
	replacement coverage
	accidental damage
	theft

anyone had a good company?
