Attention outdoor pool: How to protect your valuables from theft!

With the onset of the warm months, outdoor pools open their doors again and invite you to swim and relax. However, the risk of valuables being stolen while left unattended also increases. According to a report by DAILY It should be particularly noted that household contents insurance generally does not offer protection against simple theft. Bianca Boss, board member at the Association of Insured Persons (BdV), emphasizes that valuables that are under towels are not covered by the insurance.

It is therefore recommended that valuables be stored safely in lockable lockers or lockers provided by the outdoor pool operators. This measure significantly minimizes the risk of theft. Even if a burglary were to occur using force, this would be covered by household contents insurance.

Protection against burglary and extortion

The insurance also provides replacement value if valuables have to be returned under threat of violence. The BdV points out that some insurers offer special tariffs that, under certain conditions, include simple theft up to a certain compensation limit. Nevertheless, the BdV strongly advises you to check your own policy and ask the insurer whether simple theft is covered.

In addition, the Association of Insured Persons recommends that, ideally, you leave valuables at home or store them safely in order to prevent the risk of theft. These preventative measures not only make sense with regard to home or contents insurance, but also contribute to personal safety and carefree bathing pleasure.

Consumers should also find out about swimming options in the Stade district. The TAGEBLATT card offers a useful overview that lists admission prices and opening times. Safety and caution are particularly important during the popular outdoor pool season so that you can enjoy relaxing hours by the water without worries.
