Car stolen
My cousins car has recently been stolen, the scum broke into house and found the keys, off they went. (also nicked my Aunts car in the process.)
He has been told that he cannot claim on his insurance for six weeks.
Is this normal?

It certainly used to be the case that a vehicle wasnt considered to have been stolen until 28 days had passed; up until then it was simply 'taken without the owners consent'.

One was a silver Astra, 2.2ltr coupe I think. The other was a small Nissan. Wollaston, Northamptonshire. Insurance co told him 6 weeks. Dont think he has been offered hire car as he has arranged lifts to work with a friend.
I can see them having to wait, but certainly not without a hire car!

Got a few friends in Wollaston, will pass this on, ta!
Expect the police to do nothing.

When mine got nicked, Elephant immediately wrote the car off, cancelled my policy and started the investigation process. I didn't get a courtesy car because my policy was effectively cancelled.
The car was found a couple of weeks later burnt out so it didn't affect anything.
The police did nothing about this either

Nice, but what happens if the car is found? Do you get to 'buy it back' from the insurers?

Have no idea what would have happened if it was found intact.
