My policy states they will not pay out if the key is left in the van. Hope your mate gets it back in one peice. He should change his locks at home today.

Permed mullets  as well...

one of the advantages of owning an old van is people dont want nothing to do with it i still lock it but on the odd time i do leave the keys in if im just doing a fast front where the van 10 foot away from me on on the drive and only on a back street , im gona have to lock up even there after hearing this what a nightmare  :(
hope your mate gets everything sorted best way he can...
