Picture this, you are out and about and you checkin somewhere, someone following you now knows you are out and robs your gaff.
A mate told me that this sort of thing will soon impact your insurance.
Not sure if this is old news, but intersting none the less.
>press would lap it up!
Agree. Particularly since it will be true in a few years.
I have a liability umbrella policy and live along the waterfront. With 'waterfront' as a qualifier, I'm already having to fill out surveys that want to know about boats, jet-skis, etc. One incorrect answer and the insurance company has grounds to avoid pay-outs. This year, I rec'd a call from the local agency ...it seems the underwriters were reviewing pictures of the property and wanted the hot tub to have a cover. So oversight is already here. This just gives them ways to prove that you are more at risk than you said you'd be.
