Many of those who didn't report the thefts said they tried to, but couldn't reach an officer on the phone. Many also said they thought police would view the thefts as minor, so they didn't bother calling.
So, in my opinion, the obvious answer to the headline, and your article, in today's Free Press, "Why don't people report crime?" is simply and unfortunately, because the cop's either won't, or can't do a damned thing about it so why even bother.
The reason I didn't report it is because of the small value of the items taken: Wasn't worth filing an insurance claim for, and didn't think the police would care anyway.

The documents - accessed through the Manitoba Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act - also show expressed concerns over "in-stream construction methodology and geotechnical conditions" that would raise the risk factor and insurance claim potential for contracting companies. The skilled labour shortage, coupled with the provincial government's desire to fast-track the project, could potentially make construction work more dangerous, says Brandon District Labour Council president Jan Chaboyer.

It's costing the insurance companies a huge amount, it's costing the business people of this town a lot because our premiums are going up," said Karrouze, who made an insurance claim but still had to spend $1,000 of his own money for the paint job. Currently city workers clean tagged city property while it's up to residents and business owners to clean graffiti on their own property at their own expense, whether its through insurance premiums or out of their own pocket.

The prospective lack of a clear evidentiary basis for concluding whether changes resulted from an error of the design professional leads to a discussion of another problem with the existing change order process: the inherent conflict of interest when design professionals approve of changes. Since the remuneration of the professional is often based upon the total cost of construction, the design personal has a financial incentive to approve that result in additional costs. This is balanced only by the professional's adherence to the ethical standards of his or her profession. Accordingly, the approval of (again excepting possible emergency work to cover for such unexpected events as a flash flood) should incorporate a meaningful cost review process to protect ...

So what did happen to it? Was it simply mislaid? How does a mint mislay $15.3 million in gold and silver? It's not like it could have fallen under the cushions on the couch in the coffee room. We are told that we will get the answers in December when the mint will release a report of its own. The explanation is expected to be that the computer did it, that nothing is missing, it was only a computer glitch. Even so, the mint is filing an insurance claim for the lost-stolen-strayed-mislaid loot.

Where an insured has to make a claim under their policy to its insured, the insurer will generally pay the claim, subject to the terms and limitations of the policy, and then seek recovery from the party responsible for the loss. The right of subrogation is one of the most important rights an insurer has and, aside from the policy limit of any particular type of claim, it is one of the most important benefits of an insurance policy.

Re: Gord Price's letter Vehicle insurance $2,767 less in Alberta (June 20). As it's unlikely we'll have private auto insurance here any time soon, it would have been more constructive comparing our rates to another province with public insurance. Also, did you ever make a claim in Alberta? Private insurers may well have low rates, but upon as little as your first claim, they are notorious for either dropping you like third-period French or hiking your premium into the stratosphere. You can't be dropped under public insurance, and though your premium may rise I'll bet it's not in the same ballpark. Private insurers also aren't concerned about making rates equal for everyone. For example, if young male drivers in a certain age group are statistically more likely to get into accidents, the...

A story about some appraisers, a lawyer, a fire, insurance and an E & O Claim paying fees to adjusters and lawyers is presented. The lawyer is able to snap up a 12,000-square foot, four-storey commercial building for about $125K. Overtime, he invests about another $50K in renovations. A new mortgage allows our lawyer to get some cash out of the building and all is well, except for the fire that consumes his building and more. This lawyer took one page from the appraiser's report and gave it to his insurance broker when he was re-mortgaging. He then said, here is the 'replacement/cost value' for the insurance coverage and that was his coverage at the time of the fire. Unfortunately, it was coverage for $600K and the eventual cost of a new (not the same because you could not build su...
