Yes indeed it would belong to the insurers, I get the impression though it wasn't insured otherwise why the fuss?

The owners were between insurers and so it was not covered - hence the reason for no payout.  I cannot understand why you would let your insurance lapse on your van and wait to go with someone else - you wouldn't do it with your car. Yes if you are going to change insurers surely you would have one policy end at midnight and the other one start at 1 second past midnight.

I think it is madness that the police are powerless to seize the caravan - afterall they are travellers - they chose that way of life - but it does not give them the right to take someone elses property.

Human rights - paaaaa!!!! What about the rights of the legal owner?

Surely the owners had it insured and have received a payout by now. You would have to be bonkers not to insure an expensive van.

I do not understand how a stolen vehicle can be left in situ, it wouldn't happen with a car or a motorbike.
