Auto Theft Coverage
by Suzette K.
(Calgary, Alberta)
My son attended a party and chose to sleep at the residence instead of going home that night. Another party attendee woke up in the morning and looked some through coat pockets until he found car keys. Once he found some car keys he then decided to drive to a store. He had not asked anyone if he could take the car and proceeded to drive the car to the store for some supplies. The road conditions were not good and he then crashed and totaled the car. I had him charged, and the officer charged him with taking a vehicle without permission. The car was not covered for collision but was covered for theft and personal liability. Is this a valid theft claim?
Theft Claim
Hi Suzette,
Since he was charged by the police, it should be a valid theft claim.
Good luck, that's a bad situation.
