Mr. Bean wanted to take out insurance to cover his property against fire ant theft. He only wanted a straightforward policy, so he filled in the proposal form and sent it to the brokers with his premium. His policy was sent to him very quickly. Unfortunately, three weeks later a fire broke out and his property was badly damaged. He immediately put in a claim to the insurance company. The insurance company was satisfied that the fire was accidental, so within a very short time Mr. Bean received full compensation for the value of the damage.
