A TRAPPED badger bashing its way out of a shed and a pigeon causing £8,000 of damage to a home after flying down a chimney are among the most bizarre but successful claims that an insurance provider has seen in recent months.
In another incident, a snail chomped its way through £78 worth of carpet at the home of a 73-year-old man from Preston, according to RIAS, a specialist provider of insurance products for the over-50s.
The provider analysed successful claims from over 400,000 home insurance customers, made between September 2012 and October 2013, to find the most unusual, many of which involved children or animals.
