John Mackenzie chats with Sean Lord, Director of Lord Insurance Services, about the impact and insurance stresses involved in car thefts for Cairns.
As Cairns faces yet another year of record-breaking car theft statistics, victims of such crimes are being left with anxiety over insurance woes and long wait times for mechanical repairs.
Insurance prices are increasing, with many victims of crime being forced to pay the premiums for their stolen vehicles because the offending child's name is protected and can't be given out to insurers.
It seems yet again that offenders' rights trump the rights of innocent citizens, including women and the elderly.
