[Leica] Camera insurance problem

[leicar at q.com (Aram Langhans)]

Perhaps including a copy of your original sales receipt in the box and 
having Don return it with that receipt along with the repair invoice would 
be a way of convincing the authorities that you were not trying to sneak one 
by them since it shows that you had purchased the camera some time before 
the repair?
