Reported today that a claimant to Norwich Union, UK's largest insurer had a claim made for a lost hamster and a damaged handbag. "I was taking my hamster to the vet only to realise that when I arrived there, it had chewed through my handbag and escaped."
I wonder who that could have been ?
Other quirky claims, "I parked in a country lane and two horses had chewed my car." (Horses or donkeys ?)
"My windscreen was damaged when a frozen squirrel fell from a tree."
In NZ we have a parrot like bird called a Kea, a bunch of them can strip all the plastic and rubber off a car in less than an hour. They live at high altitude and many a tourist has returned from a walk to find their hired car totally stripped with the windscreen fallen out and the contents of their car strewn across the road being ripped to pieces by Kea's.
Anyone had a strange insurance claim ?
