theft/insurance

[bbqoldie]

it dawned on me that shortly i'd have half-a-grand just sitting in the garden...albeit 80kgs of it.
What have you all done to deter/prevent theft, and is this something we can add to home insurance?

A big chain.

Or insurance cover for items in the garden. M&S insurance is good for this, I have found.

same as chairmaker....also bought the most ugliest/cheapest looking cover I could find and store it in the corner of the garden😁👍

I have garden equipment covered as part of my home insurance. But I snore, so the Mrs usually makes me sleep outside most nights...😁

I find living in the centre of 5 terrace houses with 6 fences they would have to climb over is usually a good deterrent.

I’d have thought the weight alone is enough to deter theft... nevertheless, you can add it as a specific item to your home insurance. It shouldn’t add much to your premium, if anything at all.

I went to add mine on my  home insurance but they said since its under a certain value then its covered by default👍 

This could be different depending on the insurer though and worth asking
