Times are altering. A fairly weird story, Insurance Company Drops Customer Saying A ‘Drone’ Took Photos Of Clutter In Yard, caught my consideration:
Drones generally fly over CJ Sveen’s Oakley home. He by no means thought a lot of it – till now.
‘Apparently they have some pictures, and they noticed clutter,’ Sveen mentioned.
Sveen was shocked when he bought this discover from his longtime house insurance coverage service, California State Automobile Association (CSAA) Insurance Group, a AAA insurer.
‘They’re going to be terminating our house owner’s insurance coverage coverage,’ Sveen mentioned.
His home isn’t in a hearth zone, and he’s by no means filed a single declare in 15 years. Instead, the discover mentioned CSAA discovered “debris, hazardous conditions, tires or a dilapidated car” in his yard.
But how would they know that? No one ever got here to examine. So, Sveen referred to as the corporate.
‘And they said, ‘Oh, we sent over a drone.’ And like, they’ve a drone that they despatched over my property. Just flew into my yard. So, very shocked, yeah,’ Sveen mentioned.
He says CSAA wouldn’t let him see the drone photographs nor give him an opportunity to clear his yard.
‘I guess the old-school way would be to knock on your door. I guess they don’t try this anymore, they ship a drone,’ Sveen mentioned.
Watch out for these drones. Those ingenious insurance coverage firm underwriters are utilizing them to check out you.
Thought For The Afternoon
