His motorcycle was stolen and the insurance company refused to pay because it didn't have a steering lock: the court ruled against the insurer.

The National Chamber of Commercial Appeals in Argentina has ruled against an insurance company that refused to compensate a motorcyclist for the theft of his vehicle. The insurer had denied the claim on the grounds that the motorcycle lacked a steering lock, or "traba volante," at the time of the incident, which occurred in the La Paternal neighborhood of Buenos Aires.

The court confirmed and expanded a previous ruling, ordering the company to indemnify the policyholder for the loss. This decision establishes a legal precedent regarding the obligations of insurers when specific security measures are cited as a basis for denying coverage following a vehicle theft.
