I think this is the best advice/reasoning here. Until I own a home where having some sort of security system or deterrent is of any use, or even possible to install, insurance is the best option.
After searching quickly, insurance companies offer insurance for all your things if they cost about a minimum of $30,000 for about $40/mo. I pay more for my cell phone.
The only other element of importance that's worth stealing is the data on my machines which is backed up off-site already, and will soon be locally encrypted when I re-install Arch.

Call me old fashioned, but I still use an abacus with a hand-move-bead interface. Much cleaner and faster to me.
