Isn't it the insurance company's problem?



Ultimately, but have you been robbed before? Even if you are armed with receipts/photos/serial numbers/etc, it's not a pleasant experience.


If you fill your home with a bunch of generic, replaceable crap that has no meaningful value to you other than that it is available for your use then yes, this is mostly just a hassle for the insurance company, assuming you have receipts and whatnot.

Most people, however, are not borg drones and though a check from the insurance company may allow for acquiring replacements for lost items it won't make up for the damage done by a robbery.


I store my photos on Flickr. Everything else... yeah, replaceable crap. Nobody can ever steal the contents of my mind.
