Someone's phone came out of a pocket and was flung away while on a rollercoaster and it was unable to be found. Policy didn't cover for the loss of a phone.

Appeal stated that, while the policy didn't cover for loss, it did cover for accidental damage, and it was inconceivable that the phone had been flung that far and didn't break when it hit the floor...and therefore they should be covered as it would have been damaged before it was lost.


Someone's dog ate their phone. They were unable to recover it...afterwards.

Same argument used - dog must have chewed it up, so must be damaged and not lost. Obviously.
The dog one i agree with it wasn't technically lost as they knew where it ws.

Should probably have mentioned that they didn't actually see the dog eat it...

But regardless, loss doesn't necessarily mean that you can't know where the item is - you could drop something into a drain accidentally, and it is lost if you can't recover it.

I poured a glass of red wine in Michael Rutter's lap in a Slough pizza restaurant in 2001. He was helping us open the new Gericke shop there and we all went on a bender after the big opening. I still owe him the dry cleaning costs.

Not the most interesting but was quite recent and very funny.
I'm a firefighter and we got called to a house where an elderly lady had fallen down the stairs and was lying against the front door. No windows were open and the door was obviously blocked, so we would have to break entry.
My boss got on the radio to our control with the message "Breaking entry as firefighters are unable to arouse elderly lady", this was broadcast to every radio in the county and through our speaker at the back of the fire engine. The coppers and paramedics were p155ing themselves.
