I am sure that there are cases in which people are careless despite great financial risk. But there are also many cases of people being careless as a direct result of insurance coverage. This is most obvious in insurance fraud, where people actually intentionally damage their property in order to get a payout. But more commonly, people simply opt not to pay for garage parking because they have theft insurance on their car or motorcycle.
