Adelaide Now, April 27th, 2009 – Woman sues AAMI for policy breach
Adelaide Now, June 11th, 2009 – Woman accused of staging ‘gold theft’

I’m following the story of Adelaide resident Kristina Fincham, who is claiming that 74 bars of gold bullion, purchased with money earnt playing World of Warcraft, was stolen from her house in March 2008. Apparently she is claiming the loss on her AAMI house and contents insurance policy, and the insurance company is refusing to pay. It seems that she registered the bullion with AAMI when she purchased it. The Adelaide Now stories written by Sean Fewster imply (from Kristina’s comments) that AAMI initially refused to accept that she had the bars in the first instance. The latest write-up suggests that AAMI is accusing Kristina of having planned the whole thing to rip them off. Apparently it’s going back to court in July, so stay tuned.

Edit February 25th, 2010: Unfortunately, this story has not come up again in the news, so we may never know how this wrapped up. In fact, when I checked google, this post ranked highest after the original Adelaide Now stories. My curiosity remains, ungratified.
