my stuff is that it's not worth a lot if you're considering value with depreciation, but the replacement cost would be high.

You can get insurance that insures replacement cost instead of current value. That's how ours works.

Insurance claim adjuster was quite pleasant. He warned me that there's a limit of either $1500 or $2000 for jewelry you didn't itemize separately, which of course we didn't. Even with the deductible, that will come fairly close to covering replacement value, if not sentimental value.

Keep checking the pawn shops, Betsy. A pleasant claim adjuster is a very good thing - I've had surly ones that made me feel like I was trying to scam them (I wasn't).

That's nice, anyway.

Oh, I just remembered. In Minneapolis if a pawn store (or similar) buys a musical instrument (maybe other stuff too) they have to hang on to it for a while (a month or two?) before they can sell it, and they must also check it against police reports of stolen stuff before they can sell it.

So you might wanna check the laws in your state, and maybe file a police report if you haven't.

I filed a police report the first day; they even managed to pull fingerprints off the window.

The policeman I talked to said that all the pawnshops send them a list of what they've gotten in, and he'll be checking that list against the list I gave him of missing items.

That's kinda cool. Go CSI!

I wouldn't mind getting robbed so much if Warrick were to stop by. But I'd get Ecklie.

Oh, that's cool. (eta for Betsy's post)

I'm still amazed that I got most all my stolen CDs back just because I notified stored that bought used CDs.

Apparantly the thief wasn't too smart in my case. He paid some guy $20 to sell the CDs for him. When that guy was caught with my CDs, the thief fled to South Dakota to avoid prosecution. I was like, "Jail. South Dakota. Same diff...."

Kay O'Conner, is planning to run for Secretary of State in Kansas, which is the office that oversees elections. However it turns out that she has ,in the past, voiced the opinion that she does not support the right of women to vote

Still working on the illogic of this one. Don't you have to, like, have a referendum to vote on not voting? And if you don't want the vote, don't you have to vote to take it away from yourself?

I am like that robot-girl whose head exploded when captain Kirk told her a logic-problem.

Wow, that's some full service policing. Cool.

When my parents' trunk got broken into while we were hiking, we got to watch the ranger dust for prints. And then the stolen purses were found, missing only the credit cards. Highly satisfactory.

Just got e-mail from DH. Apparently there are men in suits talking very seriously with upper management. He doesn't think his job is in danger, but it looks like big changes...gulp.
