Auto Insurance does NOT cover contents - OFF TOPIC

[David]

Yup, reters insurance is cheap peace of mind. When I was a renter (bought about 3 years ago), $30,000 in content coverage with $250,000 in libility ran me about $100 per year. Yes, per YEAR with State Farm. Well worth the peace of mind IMHO...
