About two weeks after the following incident Mr. Buckhurst received a telephone call
from the police in Carlisle. Thanks to the driver's description of the man who asked
him for a lift, the police were able to arrest the entire gang. They discovered them in
Carlisle, where they were busy changing number plates and respraying two stolen
lorries, so they will not be doing any more hi-jacking, for the time being, anyway.
WILLIAM BUCKHURST: Hello. Peter, Are you looking for me?
PETER WILES: Yes, as a matter of fact I am. Have you heard any more about the
missing lorry while I've been away?
BUCKHURST: Yes, we have. Andersons have just been on to me. The vehicle
insurers say the lorry is a complete write-off.
PETER: I hope we're covered all right.

PETER: Did the police raid the farm?
BUCKHURST: Yes, they did. But by that time, of course, the gang had left.
PETER: What did they do with the lorry?
BUCKHURST: They took the brake off and let it go over the side of a steep hill! It's
a total wreck.
PETER: What about our desks?
BUCKHURST: Well, now, apparently the insurance of the load is not so simple. I
informed our insurance brokers as soon as the theft was reported.
As you know, all goods delivered for us within the United Kingdom are covered by a
blanket insurance policy.
PETER: Who underwrote the policy? Lloyds, wasn't it?
BUCKHURST: Yes, we're insured with a syndicate of Lloyds underwriters. Someone
