Yea the story goes on....
Had a Cannondale mountain bike stolen years ago. I checked all the small print and put my claim in for £1500 which was what i thought the value of the bike was.
It was also the limit on my insurance policy.
Because of the value the insurers insisted i got two quotes for the bike. Two quotes came in at around £2k.
Insurance lady said that because the claim was over £1k they needed to see the garage it was stolen from and what steps i was taking to stop future theft.
Anyway she came round, looked and said i had a very nice house. Weird. Next things she says is it was my fault because i lived in a nice area!
She then says ignore the £1500 limit and put the two quotes in for £2k.
Two days later they phone me and say here's a bike for £2k, phone the shop and tell em what size and colour you want.
Next year my insurance went down.
Explain that one???
