My son in law, was so excited about his 17month old daughter's first swimming trip from the boat. We were having a trip on Jerry Boat Deja Vue, when his wedding ring slipped off. He was in Rabbit bay, he is devastated about it. Jerry did say he would find it if it was in the bay as he would go snorkeling there and as the water is so clear he would find it. If anyone finds it we would be be so relieved to have it returned. Please if swimming and snorkeling in that bay please look out for it.

Where is Rabbit Bay?

It's where Jerry goes snorkeling.

Tell him to report it to the Police, get a Police Reference number and he can claim on his Travel Insurance. This will not make up for the sentiment involved with this ring of course, but will go some way toward helping to get another one...

Why would the Police be interested? It's a loss, not a theft.
No wonder insurance costs keep on going up.

With that answer i know why your name is KNOB?

Don't think the police would give a reference number, as said before, this is a loss, not a theft. Possibily worth a try but you should be prepared to spend a long time waiting. Maybe worth looking at house policy, rather than holiday insurance as sometimes possible to claim on there.

Rabbit Bay is the bay/ island where the donkeys live. Dont ask why it is called rabbit bay.

Quite an abusive comment when KKOB was correct in his answer. The police will not be interested at all, its a loss not a theft. Would the police in the UK be interested if the situation was repeated there? I think not.

According to Jerry they (the rabbits) swam to the bay from another one.

As in the UK if you lose something of value you report it, it need not be stolen. In the Uk you are given a crime number to present to your insurance company that you have lost item of value. By doing this the insurance are more likely to pay out. The claim then gets filed, should the person continue to claim that is when fraud flags up.
In Turkey, you report a loss to the police, they are not interested but will give you a number, again this number can be asked by the travel insurance or the house insurance to validate the claim.
I am returning to the UK to report and claim for my 10 carat diamond tiara, but not to worry they will believe me ;)

In the uk you can report any lost items to the police and they will give you a lost property number, these items are then checked against found property, and occasionally some kind person will have handed the item in, and hey presto you get it back.
-
The insurers said they had to report it to the police, which they duly did and were laughed at by them, so no reported number just fingers crossed that they may be covered. Son in law is heartbroken to have lost it, and he has very bad earache too, thanks to my daughter!

Lost my gold watch in Istanbul. The Hotel sent a member of staff with us to the Police Station. I filled in a report, got a Police reference number. I claimed on my travel insurance and was paid out for the lost watch.
So don't believe everything you read from people with no experience ofclaiming for a loss abroad.
;) :)
