Anyone attending a festival this summer is advised to check out their home insurance to see whether it will cover their possessions while they are away, Aviva has noted.
With an estimated 46 per cent of people heading to a festival at some point in their lives, the company emphasised that there will be rich pickings for thieves at such events.
Although the best advice is to leave valuables behind, Aviva suggested that personal possessions cover is an alternative for anyone who needs to take the equipment with them.
Jonathan Cracknell, household underwriter at Aviva, commented: "There is a risk of crime and our research shows that it is definitely worth being as aware of security as you are of the line-up of the day."
Statistics reveal that at the top seven UK festivals in 2010, there were 945 reported incidents of thefts, with the combined value of the items equating to £190,000. |
