Homeowners?...but the deductible might wipe it out.

You should try State Farm, again.... to get the best rates, you'll have to add Homeowners, which can be a little pricy through them, but generally has superior coverage..

Near as I can tell, homeowners might cover personal property left in a stolen car, yes, but the "rider" on most insurance policies wouldn't--it only covers "affixed" property, so things bolted to the car essentially--so maybe your sub-woofers in the trunk.

Hmmm, what about Comprehensive? My son's vehicle was broken in to years ago, and everything that was stolen as well as the damages was covered by my comprehensive.

Lucky him. It really depends on what the policy says. You always have to read the riders on personal property to see what limitations are set. Perhaps it's different when the contents are stolen but not the entire vehicle? This I don't know.

I thought we always used to call Comprehensive by another name, Fire, Theft & Vandalism...

In theory, but people are denied personal property damages all the time---either limits are set to the amount, or the "type" of personal property, etc. I don't think personal property is automatically covered regardless of type or amount.

When the stolen vehicle has a tape or CD player that is permanently attached, some policies will extend to cover up to 6 tapes or CD's, but not a lifetime collection.
