I think the clue here is 'Indian gold jewellery'- people from the subcontinent do tend to keep large amounts of gold about the house. It's reckoned that the jewellery boxes of india contain more gold than Fort Knox.

If it was around £20,000 then it's fair to assume that the pieces are individually listed under her insurance policy.

If not, then difficult to claim without proof.

Not nasty, more like stating the truth, and possibly because of the high number of people that probably overclaim.

And he KNOWS this to be the truth in THIS case does he?? I think NOT... honestly, some people ought to set up business in clairvoyancy in these columns because they read a few sentences online and think they KNOW that is the case. It's laughable ...... having just had insurance claim go through myself (for a flood) I can tell you without proof they won't pay out anything!
