Not so much a sign of inflation but a sign of rising crime, because of a recession. Insurance is cyclical and always is on the front line when a recession hits!

What dont you believe? That insurance is cyclical? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insurance_cycle
Or that there is no increase in crime during recessions? http://www.billshrink.com/blog/how-the-recession-is-impacting-crime/ [ok its USA but its the same here]?
or maybe you are right and they are taken perhaps its just they cant sell so much on the non mandatory covers : http://www.fairinvestment.co.uk/news/insurance-news-Brits-cut-back-on-savings-and-insurance-as-recession-looms-2214.html or http://www.insurancedaily.co.uk/2009/06/09/one-in-four-cancel-home-insurance-as-recession-bites/.
