Thread: Rifles stolen

As an aside are my rifles covered under my home and contents insurance ?
Assume they are but haven't checked.

They should be,BUT generally "sporting goods' as they are known as, are only insured up to a maximum specified value. Mine are covered specifically under " collections" but I hope never to find out if there are any fishooks to this. I am with "am i insured" and so far their service is rubbish, of the 2 claims we have had on the house they were looking for a way of getting out of paying from the get go.

. I have an Eotech sight I dropped and now not functional sitting in the cupboard cause I don't want to jack up my premiums by claiming on it even though replacement is well over 15 hundy new. Its not worth the expense to send it back to the US for repair as paperwork cost for import/export to US more than buying another here.

Wash you mouth out Mikee!

Speaking from experience Photograph every gun Have current valuation Some sports shops are considered to "know enuff" to help out but check their credability
scuse my spelling suspect not good But cross it off before it happens or your gonna get boned twice instead of once . Its one of those things you need to be up front and assure yrself you and your ins co are on the same page about . If you get no satisfaction or are left unsure get it sorted before you need to or its gonna hurt
Make a good list take pics get valuations from a good gunshop replacement is usaualy way harder if you have problems.

What happy said . I got a beretta shotgun stolen , it was mint but 8 years old . I had a he'll of a shit fight getting anywhere near what's it's worth . Did in the end but its not worth the stress and time involved . Id imagine nice glass would be under valued as well to there advantage . !

Check your policy and ask anyway, my policy says up to an amount per item (think its 4.5k) . So I assumed my kayaks were covered, rang to check and they are classified as boats so I needed another policy...I decided to wear the risk of them being burnt down if the house goes.

Interesting that someone targetted guns and it was the AR15 I bet....put some searches on trademe you never know how dumb they will be.

If he owned the 15 round mag he's going to have some tough questions to answer - he may find his FAL being seriously looked at. But I never used it, just owned one - there's a Tui billboard right there.

Well if it was a .223 AR then he has been a bit naughty and MR Plod will be interested. If its a .22LR then 15round mag would be OK.

ah, mikee beat me to it

Sucks having your toys ripped off

Is the C-cat mate the house / safe owner ?

Yup, E-cat, unless it was a .22 AR, then 15 is the limit for A

Fffaaaark, this sucks! Thieves are some of the lowest scum on the earth.

Were the bolts and ammo stored in sleepout? If the place hadn't been tipped over looking for the bolts etc I would be looking very closely at the flatmates. See if neighbours have CCTV to see if a vehicle can be seen in driveway. If the place didn't get turned upside down, drawers and cupboards open etc, I would be dobbing the flatmates in for anything I had on them to try get them in an interview room with the Police.

They took the crayfish man, I bet they knew that was in there. Thieving bastards.
