Apple care. (Provided of course you're still within the one year warranty period.)

As for Safeware, they're primarily an insurance company. Go to their website and read the FAQ.

FAQ

Just make sure it gets stolen from your house, and your homeowners insurance will cover it. ;-)

Then you'll need an insurance policy. Warranties only cover manufacturers defects. There are many different computer insurance policies that are marketed as "warranties", but they are actually just insurance.

Liquid and computers don't mix. It might seem simple, but we see an incredible amount of people post here about spills. Keep drinks and other liquids away from your expensive electronics!

Sounds like you're recommending insurance fraud, no?
