Hmmm... do you really want to send the following message?

Hi, I'm on vacation right now in the sunny Bahamas. If you're smart enough
to look in the phone book and get my address, you already know the house is
empty and will remain so for at least another week. There are at least three
van rental companies within a 10 minute drive from my home, which will make
it very convenient for you to haul whatever you might take when you visit.
Thanks for your e-mail and I'll try to inventory what's missing for the
insurance company as soon as I return.
