Keys and car stolen during night--Insurance position
Discussion
There should be no problem with settlement after a break in. It happened to a couple of my neighbours recently. The one I talk to was paid out within a normal time-scale, about four weeks in his case. His car was recovered shortly after payout and the insurance company dealt with it.

did you leave the keys on a silver plate next to the front door?

I have deleted my initial message from this topic.
I only asked because you would be shocked if you saw where some of my friends leave their car keys overnight
My car + bikes..etc are worth F-CK ALL (compared to most on here) but I still leave my keys somewhere VERY secure overnight

Similarly we don't leave the keys where they can be seen or reached from the letterbox/window etc. But not that secure once you're in the right place. If they have broken into the house I'd sooner have them take the keys on their own and not come and ask me for them.Munter said:

There has to be middle ground between a Silver pate next to the front door and in the otherhalfs knicker drawer

! Back in the day you used to have to break into a car bypass the alarm before it went off, slide hammer or screw driver the ingnition, start and drive off. Any proplems were overcome, like immobilisers and when not. Now they just take your keys! Lazy tallentless Chav drugged up ! Robert060379 said:

I thought of you as I was reading this Broccers - did they ever pay out in the end?
It's something I worry about. Me getting paid out if it happened, not you
Yes, altho it wasn't simple. Car was actually recovered 2 years later just as I was transferring my private plate over to another car ..... dvla had no clue what they should be doing on that one.It's something I worry about. Me getting paid out if it happened, not you
Hiding your keys is not a solution, improve your home security.
