Hi Joy, to my knowladge you can put things on your home owners insurance which are not part of the vehicle. For example cameras, computer, clothing and things like this. If this items where stolen you're covered by the home owners insurance. But if you claim, the premium will go up. So the question is how much is you deductible and what did you get out in the end? Propably nothing!!
