Thousands of PRAMS stolen every year and it’s creating a ‘black market for posh buggies’
Nearly 3,000 push chairs have been officially recorded as stolen in the past four years, according to a freedom of information request submitted to police forces in England, Northern and Ireland Wales.But Confused.com, which made the information requests, reckons the numbers could be as high as millions as not everyone reports thefts, some reported thefts aren't recorded in detail, and other police forces simply didn't respond.
The comparison website says this could now be fuelling a "buggy black market" due to parents’ willingness to buy second-hand prams - and the high price of brand new buggies.Confused says the average cost of the buggies stolen was a whopping £487.Susie Lindey*, 35, from Cardiff was forced to buy a secondhand pram when her £900 Cosatto push chair was stolen from outside her home.
The threshold for this varies by insurer but Confused says all contents policies offered through its website require items of over £1,000 to be declared.
