[Sussex] Burglary

Thanks for the replies all.

Home Insurance have stated if there is no forced sign of access, they might not pay out.

For detail looks like one conservatory window has been forced opened fully, and they have gained entry that way, grabbed laptops and all the other car keys, and gone out the back door using the key they found.
Footprints on window wills either side.

Whilst I snored upstairs, Mrs and kids all shook up. Not just due to my snoring.

Still making the phone calls, any ideas if car insurance covers key replacements due to theft?

Let me at em.

Not normally, you can ask for it as an add on, but I would guess the loss of the key would be on your home insurance if it was taken from there.

On the rare occasions that i have had to notify insurers of an "incident", I have always found it a good idea to tell them in writing that "This is NOT a claim, merely a notification" and keep a copy. Could be useful in case of dispute

Thanks Papa, hoping the insurance company will do similar for ours then.
The intrusion is whats rattled the Mrs and kids, mines just the bloody financial inconvenience, car key replacements for the cars they didn't steal.
Excess payments for the claims, door lock replacing etc..

Wankers

That is good to know will pester them for the cost of replacing those.

Local police unlikely to have time to do so, but knock on a few neighbours doors and see if seen/heard anything. Check for any CCTV opportunities. Was anything else moved or touched (forensic) ? If frequent local pub, any gossip? Good luck!
