>> Why would his insurance company get involved in an incident to do with the car
>> that has happened whilst the person insured hasn't been at the wheel?

No idea, but colleague did say the insurance company is very reputable.

>> How does the insurance company know that this incident has even occurred during the duration
>> of the current policy?

Luckily he has been with the same insurer since buying the car.


>> If airbags have been deployed and are now missing then that to me says that
>> you are claiming that not only has someone potentially changed the entire dashboard, but they

>> airbags are still fitted and functioning.

Apparently a small piece of circuitry readily available on e-bay sorts it.

>> And for it to be all undetectable to the naked eye then that is remarkable.

If it was the airport pick up companies they had the car for 2 weeks / 3 weeks depending on which one it was.

The general consensus in the coffee room is that someone from one of the pick up companies was joy-riding in it.

Colleague has said insurance company has gone quiet.
