I normally would be the last person on earth to defend State Farm,
and it causes me pain to do so now, but where on earth did you get
that information? State Farm is a mutual company, which means
it's owned by its policy holders.

Somehow, I couldn't see buying insurance from a company owned by a
company whose products will kill you if used as recommended. :-) I
also prefer doing business with US companies, all things being
equal.

cheapest if you use their non-dividend prices, but their dividend
option comes out to be VERY competitive. They have not failed to
refund me 200f my auto premium (250n homeowners) every year,
through earthquakes, hurricanes, 9-11, and claims I've made.

>Sort of on-topic info: I have an $80 ($64 after rebate) home
business rider with Amica that covers all my computer, camera, and
art stuff up to $5,000. That's probably only 100f new
replacement cost of everything, but I'm banking a thief isn't
going to get EVERYTHING, and $5k would go a long way to covering
one camera bag snatched out of my van, for example.
