Hi
I don't wish to rain on anyones parade but would like to offer a few words to the wise. I am looking to insure my new Wisper and have spent the last week to ten days reading policy booklet after policy booklet from cover to cover so as not to be caught short.
Every one says in big bold print, cycle must be secured to an immovable object using an approved Gold/silver/bronze Secure Lock.
Ok you have the CCTV footage to back you up but if the bike was not secured at the time of theft then they might well try to squirm out of settling.
Its like leaving your car outside your house for a few minutes with the keys in the ignition and some low life chances on it, you could almost say you encouraged the theft.
The reason I am so meticulous in looking for bike insurance is cause years ago I had a similar incident, I set off up the front garden path on a normal bike and the wife suddenly called me back to say she had a letter she wanted posting.
I left the bike leaning against the fence at the top of the garden and walked back down the path to the front door, Leaned inside the porch, picked up the letter, turned around, and low and behold so low life was peddling like fury up the road on my bike.
Insurance didn't wanna know, said I I had encouraged the theft by leaving temptation there
Good luck with finding the low life and getting your life back on track
Regards
