Do you park your car in front of the car instead of in the garage? This can play a big role for insurance. Magdeburg regional court decided that the insurer was allowed to reduce its benefits.

The case was based on a theft where the stolen car was parked outside the garage. Even after a court action, the person who was robbed was only able to negotiate from 40 to 30 percent of the cost of the theft. If the garage has been converted into a workshop, a bicycle shed or a rehearsal room for your own garage band, it can quickly become a bit tight.
