I saw on a web-site once, that quilts do get stolen in the mail sometimes, very very sad but true. This web-site said one good way to prevent this is to not put on the label that it is a quilt, but instead to say it is linen. It also said to fold the quilt up and put it in a pillow case, and then to wrap it in a plastic bag. I also think personally, if you put too high a dollar value on it, it just draws even more attention to it, for would be thieves.
