Interesting day,some good, some bad.

The good

Plates, towels, clothes,bedding etc into box's and out to the mates ute. Then into the front, small jack,sand pegs, ropes etc, portable sullage  tank.

The bad
Missing/stolen/disappeared/gone.
Weber bbq,$250. 1 cordless drill $45,1 cordless impact drill $110, electric chainsaw battery,(saw was at home)$200, 2 cordless batteries and chargers $100, and 1 almost new 120 amph/lithium battery and box, $260.   

All in all , not very happy, but nothing I can do about it ,just suck it up and get on with life.

Missing/stolen/disappeared/gone.

Assume they all get added onto the insurance claim?

Xcavator, you potentially have a legitimate claim against the third party ie the driver who caused the accident. If you have details of his/her insurer - write to them. If you don't, contact your insurer as they will have it. Your insurer will be attempting to recover their loss. You need to explain to the TP insurer that you have suffered losses that are not covered by your comprehensive motor vehicle policy then document the items and the lengths you have gone to to recover them.

Under the circumstances (as I understand them) the TP insurer should be prepared to respond.

Good luck.

When my Ute was stolen, I could claim up to $1000 for missing items that were stolen.
