Pedro1962 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 As we all know, eglus and cubes are expensive and desirable items with a good resale value. As if I didn't have enough to concern myself with during the run up to my cube delivery, I started to think about contents insurance. (I know, I need to get out more). I checked my policy and it stated that possessions in the garden are covered up to £500. Have there been any reports of eglus and cubes being stolen?

Space Chick Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I hadn't even given that a second thought. Its a fair weight though, so would have thought you need some rather crazed and determined thieves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 I have told my husband I want a proper lock on the WIR to try to protect the eglu and put off thieves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I've heard - sadly - some reports of chickens being stolen, but I haven't heard of an Eglu or Cube being stolen. Although easy to move in the garden, they're not the most portable of things so hopefully that would put off anyone except a very determined thief. And personally, I wouldn't put one in the car unless it had been thoroughly hosed down I don't think anything is totally theft-proof these days though. You wouldn't think anyone would want to steal a used doormat, would you, but mine went! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I think that there has been at least one Eglu theft reported here on the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Yes, I remember a green one being stolen a couple of years ago. We never heard anything more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
