The short answer is no. That's one reason for having comprehensive insurance.0

unless you can prove who it was that caused the damage no.... the untraced driver agreement only covers personal injury not vehicle damage.All posts made are simply my own opinions and are neither professional advice nor the opinions of my employers

thanks.this is not done by another driver.is done by someone.by using rocks/metal bars.do you thing thetpft cover this ?it looks like attemtped theft/break in.are you thinking what iam thinking :T0

Have they broken the locks? In what way does it look like attempted theft? You said in your first post it looked like kids and now you are saying a break in?
Either way, I think Third Party, Fire and Theft would only cover for a proven attempted theft - check your policy.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
Sorry i have to agree with the others,if you do not have fully comp. you can not claim.
you could claim for theft if your car had been stolen.
There are two sides to every story.

what you describe will almost certainly be seen as vandalism and not attempted theft... what was it reported to the police as?All posts made are simply my own opinions and are neither professional advice nor the opinions of my employers

If it was legal, you could force your own locks, but maybe the "person" who forced the locks couldn't get in so damaged the rest of the car?
But obviously thats a fraudulant insurance claim, wasting police time etc0 -
but then not only could you get a criminal record but the insurer would only have to replace the locks and not repair the "frustration" damage. So after you get out of jail you still have a damaged car and having made a claim, higher premiums
