Curioser & curioser

Well, it's been awhile since the last posting. At that time, I fully expected it to be the last significant one but things don't go the way you expect so much, these days. Anyway there have been further developments.

The first one was that the insurance company, Allianz, decided that as we had left some keys in the van we had negated our insurance so they declined to pay out. We are of course taking legal advice and will keep you posted. So that is one development which will run for a bit - actually for a long time if my experience of the legal system is anything to go by....

The second, and probably more positive, development is that early this week Allianz passed on to us the information that the van had been recovered. They obviously weren't too interested since they have declined our claim so they passed on to us to deal with ourselves. We know little more than that at the moment. We aren't even sure yet that what has been recovered is actually our van- I suppose it could be something else that they have put our plates onto, but we are hoping that it is ours and that it isn't going to be in a terrible state. If it's drivable we will probably go to Spain and pick it up and drive it back again. If it is in bad shape we'll get it shipped back on a recovery truck!

More when I know it myself....

  1. Oooooh - exciting! (If it's damaged beyond use, can you not claim on your insurance then? Not for the theft, but for the damage, as if you had been in an accident?)

    Talk to you later xxx
