Well, as some of you may know, i got pretty screwed when I got burgled, with half of my room probably being sold at the pub that night.
Well, today I found out that my claim had been accepted, YAY... but I've been capped to 10 games...
WHAT THE FOOK!?!?!?!
I had 50+ odd games and they're giving me back 10, whoop de f'n doo.
Gar, the world is a cruel cruel place, ah well, the bloke that valued our jewellry got burgled a while back, and the townies threw the rabbit cage into the air, causing it to have a heart attack, and they let the other one off into a field...b******s. T'was sad because the bloke was really nice and he called 'em scooby and Doo, and the idiot that did it, hopped up to him saying "Missing something?"
Fook nuking Iraq, nuke the townies...
Gar, angry...

Mighty big words there. At least I haven't been badgered by someone who wanted to help themselves to my games collection!! LOL!
I think you'll find I own quite a few more than 2 games/DVDs. Whatever number I own, there is one thing I can prove, and that is ownership of each and every one of them.
So, if I ever do get badgered, I won't be losing out like you, where the insurance company clearly believe that you are trying to badger the situation to your benefit.
Oh, and how did you know I have big balls? Pervert.

When too many people screw the system, is there any wonder we get screwed back? A mate of mine got burgled recently and claimed for loads of stuff he never had, and got a lot more than he would have otherwise. Things like this put MY premiums up.
Why should they pay out if you don't have proof that you owned stuff in the first place? Sure, they may pay out for TVs, Hi-Fis and bigger items that people normally have, but when people say they have got 50+ games...yeah, OK. How easy is it to just add a few more to the number you already have? It's the same with CDs and DVDs.
If you are honest, and don't want to get screwed, show proof that you actually bought these games, such as receipts, photos etc. It isn't hard to keep receipts, and if you really did own 50 games, you would have 50 receipts and have no problem claiming for them.
Failing that, stop moaning if you can't get your "50" games back.

insurance is a very poor system and has many faults for buyers, but it is quite unfair that someone gets robbed and actually get a loss from it?! or not. if you had all your windows shut with approved locks and external doors with a lock that isnt a yale (forgotten what there called) you're seen as safer and so get a slightly improved rate. whats harsh is thieving at christmas, my neighbours were subject to that. to end, crime sucks for the victims and gives crooks a free luxury.
Unless your insurance company has hard evidence that you only had 10 games to start with, you're entitled to dispute their payout and demand that they abide by their policy terms and conditions. (Unless there's something in their smallprint that allows them to do that kind of thing).
Don't stand for it.
