Case Study / Article

Whilst working on a job site an electrician leaves his tools in a locked tool 

box attached to the tray of his ute.

Someone sneaks onto the site and whilst no one is around, the person 

cuts the lock to the tool box and steals the tools within.

The electrician files a police report and lodges a claim with his insurer 

who compensates him for the replacement of the stolen tools.
