Not to hijack this thread, but I would just like to clarify that you only need to specify items if you want them covered while they are away from your residence, as the OP's was.
All items stolen FROM your residence should be covered under your general value.
This includes cellphones and laptops BTW, although be prepared to fight over the cellphone especially if it was the only item stolen.
I fly RC planes and had a long debate with my insurance as to whether they were covered whilst at home as they value some 200K and I wanted clarification as I did not want to incur the exorbitant rates attached to specified items unnecessarily.
Eventually this was clarified by the ombudsman: unless explicitly stared in your contract, all items at home are covered without being specified. Obviously you need o ensure that you are not under insured.
Definitely keep photos and proof of purchase though!
