I can just imagine them saying 'no problem, we'll give you $500 replacement cost for your bike" and me spending that $500 to buy a gun...
I use Meloche-Monnex. They are pretty good in my experience too. For actually making a claim, it kind of depends. There may be a cap unless you've specficially listed it on our policy and depending on the deductible, it may not be worth making a claim (yeah, some racket). Some helpful info here:
