That is bad. And not telling people you are going on a cruise would not

That is why when we cruise or travel, we have set a good security alarm
system backed by battery and there is always some one staying at our
house. It is a shame that there or so many people with no scruples or

And Jean, while many things are irreplaceable, we should all insure to value
and keep an inventory, perhaps a video inventory, at a different location.
It's an insult to be victim of theft, even more so to be under-insured. If
the premium is a problem a high deductable will help.
