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!!
