Thread: Rifles stolen

I used to have a couple of separate policys for guns when I only had a few
When I went to add more was told it wasnt needed as covered under contents
Got them to put it in writing

When we moved banks and insurance just recently, I specified I wanted separate cover for the guns and gave them a value.
Regardless of the amount or value, once again, covered under contents, even though the value is more than $1500 for sporting goods. - got it in writing
However, the pricks then stitch us up with a Policy for the Mrs ring (or as I call it - 'what could have been my new Seadoo')... even though my guns are worth 3x as much

You can get cheap wireless alarm systems - under $1k and E cat safes for similar - thats bugger all compared to what most of us have invested in bang sticks
Even if its just in the area where you safe is, a blaring alarm is going to deter most from having to spend time with an angle grinder etc cutting into a decent safe

spanners has a good point on the safe
your friendly picks at your insurance company will also depreciate your firearms to the point that you cant replace them

FMG cover fireams up to $1500 per rifle under the contents policy but as sporting goods so not covered while hunting etc. I have individual policys for full replacement value for a few others cost is $25-$30 a year, house is alarmed and an e cat safe. Bit of a rebate on the contents premium for having an alarm.

Savage 1 - makes perfect sense in what he said,all tracks lead to the exact location of the stolen gear,everything else undisturbed.
Time to get those so called flat mates into the room.

I know how much that sucks. Had three rifles stolen a while back. It was my fault, and I'm still pissed at myself to this day - it isn't a nice feeling knowing that gang members could have my rifle thanks to me.

Lost my license for a few months, ended up getting it back after doing the test again, but I suspect the police just wanted to shut me up because they messed up big time, got the records mixed up, and put me down on record as losing my license due to "concerns about my mental or emotional well-being".

In regards to Police not attending some burglaries, I don't think many realise how much volume of dishonesty crime is out there, how long it takes to investigate and how few officers there are. If there are no leads or areas where viable prints may be lifted then there is no reason to attend the scene so a report is taken over the phone.

In my town it is frontline staff that attend burglaries which some can't be attended during the day normally as most people are at work which just leaves late shifts for them. And because the frontline staff are responders, all it takes is any domestics, armed incident, disorders, shoplifters, pursuit etc to overtake any burglaries they would have attended put on top of that any prevention work and enquires they have to make. Burglaries are very hard to solve to top it off. I bet if there was twice as many frontline Police they would still be busy.

Ring your local station and ask how many General Duties 1st response Officers are on duty on the street covering your city at any one time, something like 1 Officer to every 5000 head of population. It sucks but that's what has happened in our current financial climate.

Pull a few off traffic.

But of course traffic makes for easy targets, which makes it easy to keep the stats looking good for the bureaucrats upstairs...

Traffic makes for easy targets because dumb people keep handing over their hard earned money in fines because of basic stuff of speeding/rego/WOF's, etc.

It's shooting fish in a barrel
