Camera insurance/serial number issue. Family

Okay, here's the problem.

I bought a very expensive camera without my dad's permission (I used my own, hard earned money) and I know it would bother him. Before this one, I had a Nikon D80 but as my love for photography continued, so did my desire for the Canon 5D Mark ii so I finally bought it.

I'm traveling next Wednesday and my dad's hooked on the idea of getting me camera insurance for the D80. Little does he know, I have the 5D Mark ii. If he finds out I have such a fancy, expensive camera. I'm. For lack of a better word, ***.

What do I do?

If I give him a random Nikon D80 serial number from off the web, will he know? Will the insurance people know? Would it be okay for me to give him the fake serial number? It's not fake, I mean it is a Nikon D80 serial. Just not MY Nikon D80 serial. Anyway. What can I do? Help I'm so scared! My dad's the kinda guy that would crucify me if he found this out lol

Help? 10 easy points. Serious answers only please!

The only way out is to come clean with your dad or you will be digging yourself deeper into the do-do.

No problem - uh, unless the y require a receipt for the camera or the camera gets broken or stolen, and you can't provide the receipt with the correct info to claim the insurance. What do you think he will say then?

The first step to getting out a hole is to stop digging. Either refuse the insurance or come clean. Nothing comes good from lies, as I think you are finding out.

You are going to have to come clean. Tell your dad you saved up some money and bought a new camera. Tell him you want to be responsible and have him put the insurance on the new camera. The insurance company needs the modle and serial number to cover it.

Unless you want to contact the insurance agent directly and tell the agent to add the new camera to your insurance. Make sure you have a "personal articles policy" or "PAP" for short so it covers what you need.
