I am really surprised at the amount of gear I hear about being stolen that the owners never wrote down the serial numbers or took really good pictures. I personally take a good picture of the equipment, write down the serial number and get a copy to my insurance agent of everything, even the $100 junk I never use.

Do you have you serial numbers written down? Pictures? Do you have insurance? You might not want to admit it or make it public knowledge if you don't, but I would suggest the next time you are getting ready to practice to do this first instead.

The insurance in my area is not very expensive, I have all of my stuff insured at replacement value, I don't want to put down the total amount that I have covered, but the premium is under $75/year. Very reasonable for the peace of mind it affords me.

Yes to all. Hundreds of pictures actually. I've gotten pretty good at it.. Before the internet, I never thought about taking pictures of guitars.

Everything is included in my homeowners policy.

I asked about my homeowners policy covering mine, they said it MIGHT cover them. BUT, if I were ever anywhere with them and the ended up getting stolen, or if the house burnt down, they would not be itemized, per say, and would be kinda lumped in with the rest of the stuff and may very well not be able to get actual or replacement value for them. This way I have an exact value on everything, that they agree to, and it is separate from the household things that would obviously take priority if a calamity happened. What I am saying in a very long-winded way is that if you have not asked point blank of your insurance agent, it may be beneficial to do so.
