Wackiest home insurance claims revealed

Gun
A man accidentally shot his TV set while cleaning an antique gun.

Well, it's one way to turn off your TV... permanently. A man accidentally shot his set while cleaning an antique gun.

The case tops the list of wackiest home insurance claims received by Lloyds TSB last year.

Other quirky cases include the shameless policyholder who claimed for a new bed because he had worn out his old one by having too much sex.

One claimant whose home was burgled supplied the receipts for a collection of sex toys that had gone missing.

Another claimed for loss of his glasses – after a magpie flew in through the bedroom window and pinched them from a bedside cabinet.

And there were many claims for damage to electronics such as players and mobiles from people who admitted putting them in the dishwasher to clean.

Others had been operating their device in the bath and then wondered why it wouldn't work after falling in.

Phil Loney, of Lloyds, said: 'I never cease to be intrigued by the variety of claims we receive. It's impossible to predict what's around the corner.'
