having just lost an expensive digital camara, and having had to replace it, is their some type of insurance that covers losing such items? I know renters insurance covers you if you get broken into, but I'm more concerned with losing items in public. If there is something available, what does it cost, is it worth it ?? etc. I live in Austin, Texas.
