Just got home to find the house has been burgled. I think I dropped my keys outside earlier this afternoon (and feel like a right idiot!) and that's how they got in. I'm a little worried that the insurance company won't pay out on a claim like this does anyone know?


Can't find anything in the policy document and the offices are closed at the weekend.

Be careful & get some independent advice , we had a camera stolen, my god it was like the spanish inquisition,interviews on the phone bla bla....and the police knew the guy "wot dunn it"


Still they paid out (in vouchers) quite quickly


Good luck though



W**F

Have you reported the burglary to the police? You will need to do this and they will give you a crime reference number which you will need to provide to your insurers. Did you tell the police you lost your keys?


For the insurers to reject the claim this situaton would need to be excluded in the policy wording. If you cant find an exclusion that covers this, you should be covered (provided of course theft is covered).


Stick with the truth, insurers are not stupid and are particularly vigilant at the moment what with the economic situation.

Insurance Industry is legalised theft.


You are usually only insured for things that can't happen.:))


Worked with L And G,Pru, Zurich, Royal Sun Allon, Commercial Union, Norwich Union, Pearl and various others in the 1970's..


If they can wriggle out of something they will find all the small print imaginable to do so.


Not a fan...B)

easy - just say that while you were at the park you think someone must have stolen your keys and wallet from you bag. You only noticed hours later when you a. could not find your car keys or B. got home and found yourself unable to get in due to lost keys, got hold of your spare set from your friend and let yourself in and Bang...house robbed, say you had two purses one with credit cards etc which they did not get and the other with library cards, gynm stuff etc, one had home address on.
Hmm, they reckon they can trace anything bought from Currys over the last ten years. If that's true then I'm a monkey's uncle. What if you pay cash? I am not a good liar. I have embellished slightly but no more. Was thinking about the laptop but couldn't bring myself to say it and I think it'll look very dubious now if I call back and add it!

    • Sometime in the mid 80s, the first incarnation was on Peckham Rye near the new old Tesco’s
    • Off topic (ish) but does anyone else remember when Blue Mountain opened? They had chocolate coated coffee beans and a range of coffee beans sold loose, and I can't remember whether it was freshly baked  bread or rolls or croissants or  something else, but my then partner used to go and buy it/them in the morning. And behind the part with the counter, it was divided into several little rooms, all different colours and styles. There was another room upstairs, though I can't remember if that was open from the beginning  It was great. It went through many incarnations after that, before eventually sadly closing, but I liked the first one best. Also off topic (ish) there was a Greek? Turkish? deli opposite. My then partner bought some yoghurt there once, and when he got it home he found it was months (I think) past its sell by date. He took it back. The guy in the shop opened it up, looked at it, sniffed it and said "There's nothing wrong with that." 😂
    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
