thats a bit harsh your insurance not paying out, guess depends on your policy.

also strange the police didnt do much, when my camera got knicked they were extremely professional about it.

I heard from friends, they actually came round to interview other residents.

insurance people were great as well, I had to call their supplier company myself to sort it all out. my insurance company was quite rubbish at communications but when I started to sort it out myself, they just authorised all payments.

and yup, i'm still cheesed off about losing some of my photos because I remember saying I have to d/l to my PC but was too lazy. irreplaceable memories.

hope you manage to recover the items.

oh yeah its also doubly worse when you are pretty suspicious of a few people... in my case was pretty sure it was the cleaners that came in that day (the police agreed but no evidence). I even left a note with cash reward for the return of my photos but no luck.
