Declare their replacement value as a rider on your homeowner's or renter's insurance.

And is there any way to actually track them?

You could track them by GPS.
But it's very hard for you to identify the exactly floor and room in a large building.

Does that really matter? I'm sure the police could search an entire apartment block if they believed it was in there. Its like saying the police looking for a stolen car wouldn't bother searching a carpark it was reported in.

I have all my equipment in a windowless (but ventilated) spare room in my house.

I have a reverse facing digital combination deadbolt installed.

With a webcam pointed out at the door uploading video feed to a secure webserver.

If you're looking for GPS I recommend this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GPS-Vehicle-Tracker-GPS-GSM-SMS-GPRS-Vehicle-Intelligent-Positioning-Terminal-/400422326178?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item5d3b07cfa2

You have to buy a cheap prepaid SIM card and keep service active on it, it triangulates positioning via GPS sattelite and cell tower.

Plug that little sucker into a molex, tuck it away slyly in your case. And no one would know the difference.



There's always your homeowners insurance too.  Just save the paperwork that came along with buying your equipment.  That's why even if I buy equipment using BTC.  I save the receipts from when I buy the BTC.

simple solution, dont tell people that know your address you have an avalon.

the next solution is to bolt/cement it to the floor. any standard thieves only go for the easy items to lift in under a minute. the only people that would waste time trying to unbolt an avalon are people that know what it is. which brings me back to the simple solution
