The problem is, some things probably do make a difference - if you say you don't even use a disk lock, I would expect them to charge you more.
Absolutely. Which is why it's not usually worth it, just incase one day you forget to lock it with what ever is declared and they wriggle out the claim/reduce payment due to it.

I have them (locks) for my peace of mind, and the Bike's protection not the reduction in an insurance premium.
