Hi, my name is David Jones. My wife and I didn’t have any security protection added to our home, even while we went on holiday abroad. Low and behold - our house was broken into and over $3,000 of belongings were stolen.
Did we have house insurance, you might be asking. No, we did not. So that $3,000 was gone within an instant, and we were left trying to rebuild our once safe space.
