Well I had a few guns stolen out of the trunk of my car in my own damn garage. I had some guns for sale and had left them in my car so I could show them to people. Someone came in our garage at night and rifled through the car and of all the times for them not to be in the safe. The worst thing of all is that the best one I had was a "Like New" Ruger Red Label, in the box and I even had the original receipt so I could show what I paid.
My question is wether or not it will make sense to claim on my Insurance. I'm with Allstate and I don't know if I will claim through auto or homeowners. Will they require me to have serial numbers for long guns as I don't. I have some pics of me with the Ruger, but the other two guns were old and no pics I can recall. The Ruger replacement value is about $1200-$1300, but the others where only worth about $500 or so combined. My homeowners policy deductible is $500 I think and the vehicle deductible is $50 Comprehensive I think.
I don't want to file a claim if I'm just going to get screwed. Anyone have experience with guns stolen and insurance co, especially Allstate.
