5 Stolen Bikes, Garage Theft.......

[Cayopro]

Yeah thanks Doc.

I would say somebody had seen the bikes and the word has got about...... a friend of a friend of a friend etc........... The garage was targeted !!!

Those are beautiful bikes and you have my sympathy. Fingers crossed you get them back, might it help that they are so distinctive?

This served as a reminder to check my own insurance and lo and behold, it's also a max of £500 per bike.

No mate, your dead right....

Ian, Insurance......there not being very helpful at all, when my wife set the policy up they said they would cover 5 bikes up to the value of £2500 each, which would be ok, after talking to them today they are now saying £500 per bike...............which is NO GOOD at all :-( NOT impressed...

Plenty of scope for misunderstanding there - i always follow up such conversations with an email or letter....

Also, after having 4 bikes stolen from my garage a few years ago (scrotes simply cut through the various cable locks), i now have mine in the garage chained by a motorbike security chain to substantial ground anchors and locked with a Gold Secure lock

£500 per bike seems to be the going amount unless you specify them separately and then the cover price increases (sharply!). I hope I'm wrong but it sounds like your Wife has heard them say £2500 (5 bikes x £500) and assumed they meant each bike. Hope you get it sorted though.

I'm with hiscox insurance, the will cover any number of bikes up to £1000 each without prior specification, above that they want details of each bike but no extra premium on the £2k bike i'm about to buy.

they paid out full replacement cost (£999) for a 3 year old tricross written off in an accident without any quibble

I'm sorry to hear this Cayopro- I hope you get some joy with the insurance.

There are some thieving people in this world... Can't have anything these days.

 

[Cayopro]

Welcome Brad....... How true you are, I wish I could get my hands on them.........

awful news - when my bike was stolen insurance only paid out £500

I now have a whole load of D-locks in the shed and a seperate insurance policy just for the bikes.

5 in one go is truely terrible!
