The upshot of these flash floods, of course, was that many homes were literally destroyed over night. The floods also ravaged many gardens in the process, given that they were in the direct line of fire to all the extreme weather conditions, causing many millions of pounds worth of damage in the process.
The garden is a much easier target for any opportunistic thief, as they can see at a glance anything that is of value. Furthermore, many home insurance policies may not actually include the garden as part of its standard cover in the event of any loss, damage or theft. However, as the saying goes, prevention is a far better course of action than having to worry about the cure after; and there are some simple steps that a homeowner can take to ensure they aren’t the victim of a garden thief.
But of course, all the safety measures in the world can’t provide a cast iron guarantee that a garden won’t be singled out by a thief or vandal; or, indeed, that it won’t be affected by an extreme weather event. And this is why it’s important to ensure that any home insurance policy is comprehensive and includes cover for any garden-related mishaps.
