Collectibles Insurance

[Leon]

We have had our policy with Safeco, through my broker friend, for over 15 yrs. We have a rider for some things we own including a few pieces of jewelry. My wife lost an earring, my insurance agent said he forgot to include my rider on our last policy and it was his fault. He said he would pay for the diamond earring out of his pocket. I told him I should have known too so would split it with him (maybe 1k-2k).....I told him lets wait as maybe it will turn up. About 5 mos later, right when we were going to buy another, we found it under our piano. In Texas insurance agents are licensed (as well as other states I am sure) so dishonesty is not a good long term strategy. I guess it goes back to trust.

Then I found out the hard way about 3 months ago I really had not had insurance for the last 5 years.

If I could have all the $ Mastro stole from people I would gladly sit the time he got.

I also know my cousin was pocketing $ from not just individual people but also businesses. All she had to do was pay back the premiums they could prove she stole.

I use insurance from the Antiques & Collectibles National Association.

They are much more reasonable than the other insurance providers I researched and have been great to work with.

I have never had to put in a claim, though.

Ben, Sun City is a great place to be if you have a golf cart and don't mind a slower pace of life there in the Sun. I used to drive through Sun City to get on the Laughlin/Las Vegas highway out of Phoenix.

And

Leon, you really have a piano? I can only visualize you playing with your index finger in each hand. 😉

Can't say I really seen a normal golf cart. I did see some absolutely amazing miniature cars though. Being a South Dakotan I can say I did find their coyote problem beyond hilarious. I like being a member or i would elaborate.
