that's terrific news - nice to hear a happy ending.
I have always kept receipts for valuable goods, although I don't

I was never that well organised when I was younger - but it paid off
big-time with the insurance when my Pentax equipment was stolen and
I had
the receipts for pretty much everything, going back years.

Ditto. I know I don't have all the receipts, but I started keeping a
spreadsheet to track what I have starting a few years ago, that was
actually incomplete when my last gear was stolen. But I still had the
handwritten inventories stretching back over 30 years, plus the empty
boxes, cases, owners manuals etc. that represented that which I had
stolen. So much stuff that I had no problem convincing insurance
company representatives. They were probably overwhelmed, as I also
included a digital panorama of my (temp and humidity controlled)
basement filled with stacks & stacks of plastic storage tubs
containing photo gear, telling them that I just couldn't take the time
of effort to unpack it all. The tubs had transparent sides, so they
got the idea. :-)
That $26 a month was well worth the 9 months investment when approx.
$15,000 worth of gear was stolen from my locked car. Of course,
feeling guilty, I continue to pay them without fail, as most of the
gear is still here.

There is no off position to the genius switch.
Genius can, however, be observed as insanity.
