Travel insurance question

Thanks all! I'll just be extra careful and make sure I lock things away when not using them.

I am a travel blogger and carry a lot of tech around with me. I leave them in my hand luggage that looks like a regular rucksack. The more battered it looks the better. Another thing to consider is this. Most insurance companies only insure laptops under a year old. I have a mac that is over a year old but still worth a lot of money. Not sure what the policy is on phones, etc.

Thank you Paul, my stuff is also not new and so I think it would be difficult. None of it is massively expensive on its own, but put together it starts adding up. I was fairly keen to not walk around with all of it on my person as that feels unsafe to me. But in a hotel it is considered to be unattended, so they wouldn't pay out anyway.
