It is a fight that has been going on for over a year. Nicolas Vincienne, owner of VMX Motos, is at the end of his life. His shop, which was established in Plaisir since 2010, was completely looted and burned, on the night of June 29 to 30, 2023, during the riots after the death of Nahel. His insurance refuses to cover him.
The trader does not understand why. “Abeille Assurances refuses to recognize the theft. We brought us videos, evidence, there were convictions for theft in court, They compensated for the fire but not the theft. For all my losses, I estimate it at 1,200,000 euros, buildings included.“
Two deposits and nothing left!
Nicolas Vincienne has already had two investments. the first, of 50,000 euros, was paid in December. The second, for 60,000 euros, mid-July. And since then, “more, nothing!“ he specifies. The merchant does not understand this refusal, especially since about fifty motorcycles were stolen.
He despairs, explaining that he “disgusted with the system“and we think that if the insurance company doesn’t pay, that’s whyno”thinking that I’m going to give, that I’m going to give, and she wants to pay as little as possible. “
“I’m completely devastated.”
Nicolas Vincienne specifies that the dates are too long. “I had saved everything to buy an apartment or a house. I am completely devastated. All my savings went to continue the business, to rebuild a building next door, in a quieter place. If I had to count on the reconstruction of this building, I would have waited 5 to 6 years, that is obvious.“
The business manager could not keep his promises to his employees. One person on a permanent contract is partially unemployed, another person on a long-term contract has found work elsewhere, and an apprentice has found another company, and is waiting to work with them again .
In the meantime, Nicolas Vincienne works alone in a small, hidden workshop, 14 to 15 hours a day.. For security reasons, he picks up the motorcycles from his customers in a van, because “I don’t want customers to come to the workshop“, then he recites them.

Falling version
Because of his fifty motorcycles that were stolen and not compensated, he explains that his conversion has been in free fall since “in 2023, we were around 500,000, 600,000 euros. Today, if I manage to make 250,000 euros only for 2024, it will be the end of the world..“One thing is certain, he will not open a store in Plaisir.” I’m sure if I do it, it will start again within six months, a year. I am in no way taking risks. ” he explains.
The merchant continues to fight his insurance for “get the money they owe me. It’s a lot of money“He gives himself time to think.”until the end of August. If I don’t have an answer by then, I won’t refuse to go to court.“
For Abeille Assurances, the result is close
With a call from France Bleu Paris, the company Abeille Assurances responded that Abeille Assurances has the famous file “and that our teams take care of it attentively and carefully.“
According to the insurance company, “the last meeting at the beginning of July made it possible to confirm with our client, measure, among other things, his operational loss.”
The insurance company specifies “a letter of agreement regarding compensation has recently been sent to our client, including the confirmed costs. Therefore an additional payment will be made when it is returned signed by the latter.” Therefore Abeille Assurances ensures that there is good hope that a quick solution will be found.
