We once paid out a claim where a dude took a blow torch to the frozen pipes of his mobile home. Thawed them out, went to lunch, came back and it was up in flames. His wife was pregnant too (got out fine) :lol: Despite popular misconceptions, we do cover stupidity if it's not criminal and it's still an accident.
