I agree with Shoji. Your homeowner's should cover it but you may want to make sure that they cover replacement value, not current value. My bike was stolen once and I received a check for under $100. After that hard lesson, I changed my renter's insurance to replacement value. When another bike was stolen years later, the replacement value actually bought me a nicer bike (even after the $250 deductible). Now, my shop, studio, library and bikes are in the garage/man cave. After getting settled, we had a rep from the insurance company come out to do an assessment. She explained what was covered, what documentation we needed and even gave us a couple of tips to reduce our premiums. We have removed the auto garage opener and can only open it manually from the inside now. Still susceptible but rest easier knowing that we're well documented and covered in case of fire or theft.
If the dog has access to the yard at night, that is great security. I've read that if a burgler hears a dog they don't try to determine if it sounded nice, they move on to another house. Our dogs are nice enough but they don't sound like that when they hear someone outside! Congrats on your new bay area homestead. Best decision we ever made!
