'I do think that armed (and unarmed) robbery is covered'
So if someone approaches you off the street and says, give me your car keys, I'm just meant to hand them over to him??? Fair enough if hes got a knife pointed at my throat but just handing them over is giving a full green light to the scum of society.
And I'm sure any insurance company would question me just 'giving them' my keys without a thought. PLUS I'd lose all my no claims and my insurance would double for the next year

Well, to be classed as robbery, I think there has to be at least some kind of fear of violence (or similar) involved. Thus, if you felt threatened to give him the keys, it would be robbery and covered by your insurance.
TBH, if some big ****** walked up to me and said give me your car or I'll <insert something nasty here>, then I'd probably give him the keys and hope he takes the car without doing said things to me... it's just a car after all and i'm not going to be killed/injured over it.
Having said that, it does make my blood boil when I read threads about car-jackings and anti social behaviour in general... One of the reasons I would like to become a copper, try to make a change to society

Then again, I don't actually know how I'd react until I was in that situation, but I don't think I'd be the big strong guy... probably more like the big chicken hehe

Logic and common sence may not be your first thought.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing
