I'm in a similar situation - though my bike hasn't been stolen, i just want some insurance for it. I bought a frame from an LBS, and then proceeded to merrily beg, borrow and buy the parts from all over the show (ebay, mates, strangers and anyone who had such shiny things for sale) so other than the receipt for the frame i've no evidence that i bought it.
"the original purchase receipt, showing the date, price paid, details of the Bicycle and Approved Lock, name and address of seller, or other evidence which clearly demonstrates ownership." is one example of whats asked for. and putting it on my home insurance isnt an option as i'm a student and cant have home insurance in the usual sense (and endsleigh point blank refused to insure my "custom bike"
