Hello everyone, hope this is the most appropriate place for this. I wanted to know whether anyone insures tools separately as a private individual?

I rent a garage from our local council about a mile away from where I live. I like to do all of my own works on cars and bikes so have got a fairly decent tool selection, after having someone fish a virtually new battery angle grinder out through one of the vents I'm now paranoid about security. The council have given me the green light to beef up security (put grills over all the vents).

I'd like to insure the tools that are kept in there, however all I can find is either contents insurance (garage has to belong to the house) or tradesmen insurance. Does anyone insure tools by themselves? I can't be the only one in this situation. If so who are you with and would you recommend them?

Surely they would be covered under the "away from the home" section of the average home contents insurance policy?
