Hi all, I haven't got any specialist kit on our home contents policy with Norwich Union. However when I lost a Parrot Voicemate while out and about, I simply phoned in a claim for its replacement value. They coughed up with no questions. This may have been because this was a relatively low value item. Cheers now.
