Were all of these stolen boards locked?
I guess I've been lucky, but never had any boards stolen off the top of a
car (although I had a whole truck stolen with gear hidden inside of it). It
seems like creating any kind of impediment to stealing a board seems to work
pretty well, as they aren't the most fencable items in the world.
One trick I've used to lock my tuttle box boards was to take one of the fin
screws out, then screw in the same size/thread eyebolt, then lock it with a
combination lock around both cables from a cable type lock. This creates a
situation where any thieves would need cable cutting technology to steal the
boards. Certainly not unbeatable but I know people who have locked boards
on top of their cars in the City for years without any incidents.

State Farm seems to be an issue of who you deal with specifically. I had
two boards stolen off car parked in front of house. State Farm homeowners
gave full replacement cost, no hassle. Then, few years later I toasted two
boards in stupid backyard compost fire. Again, full replacement. However,
those incidents, along with several breakin thefts from auto (non-windsurf
related), resulted in "bad claims experience" and cancelled policy. Not
sure I'm actually better off overall. But for any given event, I was fine.
OTOH, I never lost gear away from home, so boating policy sounds intriguing.
