That's like saying you drove a month with no accidents, therefore you don't need car insurance.
UPS insurance is $1.05 for every $100 over $100. So it would have cost you about $15 bucks to insure your bikes for their true value. And you cheaped out anyway. The cost of a couple six-packs.
An expensive lesson indeed.
