I've been thinking about all these smash and grabs

Hubby says that my bags are including in the contents insurance and that it covers things 'outside' the house too. Just like it would cover a Bike I suppose, if that was nicked from a station or something you would claim on your contents insurance, I presume its the same for a bag.

There again - I could be being completely stupid and got it totally wrong!

My sister worked in insurace and is always telling me that I need to add personal possessions to my cover, that would cover ur bag and its contents when ur out and about.

We had them mentioned on the household insurance,so they are covered in and out of the house.Well,only one out at a time though!! But we made sure that they are all named,as thats where they are pretty much all the time,and I'm covered when I have one out with me.

Mine are actually named on the policy because "specified personal possessions' are £1,000 upwards - each. My watch, Eternity Ring and some old jewels are listed separately, but my bags are just covered under Personal Possessions.

LMAO!!! I re-read my post,and its utter gobbledegook!!!!

What I meant to say was,the total value as handbags is mentioned,not each bag individually,LOL!!! Imagine the insurance broker trying to sort that out!!
But yes,we have the watches and jewellery separate,but with a separate specialist insurance company,and everything else is on the household up to certain amounts,bikes,bags,furniture etc.
God,I'm having such a giddy moment...............

I remember when I was a reporter doing police calls & there was a report of a woman who'd had her bag stolen. Distinctly remember the value was put at £500 and all these policemen & male reporters were horrified & dumbstruck that a bag & contents could be worth that much. Oh, if only they knew......I added the value of what I was carrying today, bag & contents, and nearly keeled over.

My insurance policy is anything specified at over £1000. However, so long as I can prove the purchase and value then I am covered for anything up to that amount irrespecitve of where that particular item was "stolen".
