Yup.  Good idea, Sandy.  The security devices we use in kayaking really only
"harden" our toys a little bit --- mostly in comparison with those of us who
<don't> use security devices.  The bad guys simply are put off a little and go
to a softer target.  The little locks on Thule and Yakima racks make it a
little more difficult for someone to steal your boat, but that's all --- just
a little more difficult.  They want it, they'll get it.  The insurance policy
is a good idea.  

If you feel comfortable sharing the info, where did you get a $45 policy, and
what method did the underwriter use to determine the true value of the boat?
