They've Lost Their Coconuts

Bizarrely found on the money pages of The Times, this article lists the 25 strangest travel insurance claims ever (why is everything in lists of 25 or 50 on The Times these days?)

The best is No. 21:

Direct Line received a claim for two lost coconuts from a couple who returned home from a holiday in Mauritius. As a coconut costs just 69p (from your local Tesco), the claim was rejected. The couple’s excess on their policy meant they would have paid for the first £50 of the cost of any claim.
