Not really too much to do with sailing but i am sooo pissed i have to tell someone!

4am this morning some low life peice of ** of a person smashed the backwindow in on my van, and stole stuff out of the back of the van along with the mag wheels.
Now unfortunatley I had taken the wheels off to get new tires put on them so I put the mags in the back and the stock wheels on it. So I was pretty sure the insurance company would not cover my wheels (even though there on the policy) as they were in the van rather than on it.. So I just rang the insurance company and they told me the good news that not only will they not cover the wheels they will not cover anything inside the van stolen, and wont even replace my window or wiper!!! They say that becuse the van was not moved it doesnt look like it was an attepted theft and appears to be an "act of violence"

they then told me that I should talk to my house insurance about covering what was stolen from inside the van!

For fu*# sake why do we bother paying insurance? F*** YOU to AAMI and Just car insurance you are as low as the peice of crap who broke into my van in the first place. I can promise you if the police find a finger print on that thing and find where you are you will get intoduced to the end of my skinny carbon mast base.

Which brings me to my point I know its so stupid but after sailing espesially when the forecast looks good for the next day I often leave my gear in my car... Now when i have my two boards and all my sails, my mates 2 boards and his sails and my dads gear too, there is more value on the gear than my damn van...

So I guess none of that would be coverd then???


Has anyone else had issues with insurance and gear??

thats my bitching for today anyway
cheers
