So you\u2019ve locked your car and walked away, assured that your car is covered by insurance should it get stolen. But do you know if the same cover applies to the contents inside your car? All Risks insurance protects you against loss, damage or theft of personal possessions left in your car, or in a trailer or roof box attached to your car.<\/p>\n
