š WOULD YOU GIVE BACK $10,000?
Especially if the insurance company would never know?
Years ago, a woman lost a valuable ring. She searched everywhere - furniture moved, car searched, even a plumber checking the drain.
Nothing.
Eventually, she filed a homeowners insurance claim for mysterious disappearance and received $10,000.
Almost a YEAR later, she opened the cabinet where she kept her tax recordsā¦and there it was.
The ring had apparently slipped off her finger while she was putting away her tax folder the year before.
Hereās the part Iāve never forgotten:
She walked into the insurance agency with a check for $10,000 and gave the money back.
The claim had been legitimate. Nobody would have known sheād found the ring.
But she knew.
So hereās my question:
Would you have given the $10,000 back? š
And thereās an insurance lesson hidden in this story, too. If you have valuable jewelry, make sure you understand exactly how your policy protects it - including whether mysterious disappearance is covered.
If youāre in Kentucky, Indiana or Ohio and want me to take a look at your insurance or give you a quote, reach out. Iād be happy to help.
