I once lost a years worth of database stuff, that I had spent ages building (9-6, mon-sat, for a whole year), with no back up.

I think it was a year, it might have been 6 months.

I was young and foolish.

There was a driver who had a brand new expensive merc and only third-party insurance. It was in for repairs, so I called him from the garage saying...
... "We put the car on the road while re-arranging the forecourt, and there was a hit'n'run, he's taken off your back bumper, scratched the sides, a wheel is at a funny angle and I think there might be some axil damage.... if you give us your first party insurance details, we can get it sorted..... what do you mean you only have third party? It's about £10k worth of damage."

Eventually after an hour or two, I said "We've found some spare parts, the colour isn't the same, but it's close enough, we can do it for £3k."

I'll take a punt that this would be covererd by the garage insurance, as it was in their care at the time.

That's what I was thinking

There was no crash, we made it up, but we said because it was on the road, it wouldn't be covered by the garage.

This was tried on me many years ago.
Good story though.

I wish,
No, It was a piece of debris that fell off the Chiswick flyover and twatted my Morris Oxford. It was only later I was told that the garage was liable.
