You know I was thinking about this and I have remembered (see my long term memory is OK) I used to have a 850cc Mini van which had a push button starter on the floor, no steering lock the key to activate the ignition was in the centre of the dash and yes that was nicked set on fire on a nature reserve.
I had just renewed the insurance, the money offered by the insurance company in compensation was less than I had paid in premium (nothing new there because of my age at the time) and because it was a total loss my insurance would stop meaning I would have to pay a new full years insurance if I acquired another vehicle.
I decided not to make a claim and recover the vehicle myself allowing me to keep the insurance running. The problem on doing this was the nature reserve would not allow any vehicle other than directed by them on to the site for recovery so that cost me even more money than I would have lost had I made the insurance claim.
You live and learn I am not 17 now and muck more knowledge now (I think):crazy:
