But on the presentation of all items of proof that they were once owned I can't see how anyone can fail to cough up based on 'appearance of nerves'.
We had a loss adjuster come round to our house in Northampton when it was done over (while we were on our honeymoon).
I pointed to empty spaces on shelves and floors where things used to live, added on enough to the claim to counter the reduction they introduced for wear&tear etc and BINGO! I got a cheque that covered what had been robbed.
Everyone knows that insurance companies try to shy out of their obligations so where is the problem with claim loading just to balance things out?
I feel absolutely no shame in doing this.

I do actually.
I've got a box full of receipts, invoices & instruction manuals, even for things that I no longer own, precisely for situations like this.

I agree, they appear to have no shame in employing people targetted on reducing claims. So why not act in your own interests?

I take photo's of everything of value and stick them in an online store...still doesn't prove I paid for them or that they got robbed.
Makes me feel as though I have something to throw at the Insurance Co. though

If they manage to catch the guy you will get a letter through the post asking if you want to claim any compensation, I whacked all my excesses on there, came to nearly £500 in total for car and house

The way a member of my family (with no claims history) was treated following a claim due to the very very premature birth, at home, unexpectedly of their baby was totally insensitive. It wasn't exactly the type of story you'd make up in a fraudulent claim and they weren't asking for that much damage.
