1Opinion of the Court
HOOD, Associate Judge.
This is an appeal from a judgment denying recovery on a burglary and robbery insurance policy. The policy, covering plaintiff’s j ewclry store, provided protection against “interior robbery” to the extent of $1,500 and against “open stock burglary” to the extent of $3,000. Plaintiff testified that while he was alone in the store two ostensible customers entered and, after examining a ring, at the point of a gun took from him the ring, valued at $17, and $3,000 in cash. It is clear from a reading of the policy that the loss was .not covered by the “open stock burglary”…
