- the XXX category (being in sole charge of a stationary bed). The only thing

- if there is something dodgy on another part of the contract unrelated to the
- theft. Bastards.

- Anyone care to join me in hating insurers?

- You will find that a condition of your insurance states that you have
- a certain type of license. The insurance company doesn't check until
- you claim. Of course they will check to see if their contract with you
- is valid.
