Ontario senior saves up for e-bike to get to work — and someone stole it

For Susan St Laurent, her e-bike was a lifeline to living in Kingston, Ont.

The 72-year-old says she saved up for months to buy the e-bike for over $750 as a birthday present for herself.

“For a person like me, I have to save up that money. I am trying to retire but I am still working,” St Laurent says.

The 72-year-old works at the Brockview Café at Hôtel Dieu Hospital in Kingston.

She says she only had the bike for a few months when she looked out the window at work one day and saw it was gone.

Uninsured?

Don't know. Its a possibility or the deductible is more than the cost of a new e-bike

Not sure what a deductible is but if it's the premium, the insurance company would need looking into. I learnt my lesson about insuring things that leave the house when I lost a hearing aid. I have now insured both aids and the cost was nowhere near the price of the aids.

The deductible is the amount that the insured person will have to pay out of their own pocket before the insurance company will pay (if the insurance company even approves the claim, of course). Agreeing to have such a deductible lowers the premium cost.
 
It's happening in Europe and most likely in the USA also. Course the other day the owner of a like new Corvette found a thief locked in it in a parking garage. Didn't know about the manual door lock release. He wanted the owner to let him out. Cops found the evidence when the owner showed them the video. Insurance companies there refuse to insure them. What cha gonna do, carry a 1/2" steel cable / hardened log chain to saw / cut / grind / thru.
