This is something I've been considering for some time, yet haven't actually gone through with. I'm tempting fate I know, and I've had some minor bites in the butt with not having my kit insured, but I just wonder if it's even something most people in the field do? So I'm curious- do you have your kit insured? If you do, is it the whole kit, just certain items, and what do you have insurance against?

I looked into it but the insurace company would only cover it with a bunch of stuff like liabiltiy and the cost was about $500.00 a year....I have had my kit stolen once in over 20 years and so $500.00 a year wouldnt be worth it.  I just figure if I have it stolen once every 3 years it may be worth it.  I dont see that happening.

Did you know you can have LOJACK placed in your kit?  Its cheaper then insuring it probably...I just found this out when listening to an ad for LOJACK.  They say they place them with laptops and if thats the case they can do it in your kit I would imagine.

Its so funny because I was totally thinking about that the other day. Wouldn't you love to see somebody go to jail for stealing make-up. I think in CA if it is over $5000 or something it is a felony. It would be a victorious day for make-up artists.
