About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up outside Hiscox Insurance with an unusual package. Over the intercom, he announced: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve got something here that’s insured for exactly $19.87.’ The receptionist looked puzzled but took the package anyway. Later, when everyone had gathered around curiously, she opened it to reveal… nothing but air! Turns out, it was just a regular envelope filled with breathable atmosphere. A neighbor quipped, ‘Guess they couldn’t find anything worth less than twenty bucks!’ Everyone laughed, shaking their heads in good humor.
2. A curious note appeared on the windshield of Hiscox Insurance one morning. It read: ‘Your monthly premium has been paid in full—enjoy your day!’ Later that week, a delivery driver parked next to Hiscox’s office and noticed an identical note on his truck. He shrugged it off until he saw another similar message on his colleague’s car. By Friday afternoon, half the town had received such mysterious payments. Finally, someone from Hiscox Insurance admitted they’d done it themselves as a prank—to lighten everyone’s mood during lockdown.
3. Late one night, a security guard patrolling Hiscox Insurance heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he approached the source and found nothing out of place—until he noticed the faint scent of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air. As he followed the smell, he stumbled upon an open door leading to the company kitchen, where a friendly neighbor was preparing trays of chocolate chip cookies for everyone. ‘Just thought I’d bake some treats for our team,’ she said with a smile, completely unaware that she had become the office legend.
4. In the dead of winter, when snowdrifts piled high around Hiscox Insurance, a mysterious package arrived daily. Each envelope carried only the words ‘For Safe Keeping’. One day, a regular from down the street stopped by and asked what all the fuss was about. Turned out he’d been delivering those packages for months—each one contained a single cookie, left anonymously as a winter treat. The whole neighborhood ended up sharing cookies and stories, making Hiscox Insurance the warmest place in town during that cold season.
