Post Office Highlights Contents Insurance Risks for 'Manbag' Owners
London, UK (PRWEB) May 10, 2009 - The increasing popularity of "manbags" could alert pickpockets to valuable bag contents, Post Office Home Insurance (http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/jump1?mediaId=19300229&catId=19300223) has warned. Last year, celebrities such as Kanye West and David Beckham sparked a surge in sales for the manbag, which could put carriers at greater risk of petty theft. While the bags themselves can be worth significant amounts of money, particularly if they are designer brands, bag owner should also be aware if the items carried inside are covered on their home contents insurance (http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/jump1?mediaId=19300229&catId=19300223).
Bag carriers both male and female are urged to check the details of their home contents insurance to ensure adequate provision has been made for items they carry around with them on a daily basis. Last year the contents of the average woman's handbag were estimated at £418, which included everyday items like mobile phones, makeup and the bag itself.
It is recommended that people make sure their house insurance provides adequate amounts of cover for their belongings when they are out and about. They should consider home contents insurance cover for the costs of replacing keys or travel cards as well as gadgets like mp3 players. Post Office Home Insurance has urged the public to make sure their personal possessions are covered on their current contents insurance policy.
Emma Baunach, of Post Office Home Insurance said: "It's important that men consider this a serious risk and take steps to protect their possessions by taking out personal possessions cover as part of their contents insurance."
