Theft or vandalism to your property may bring you the most stressful and traumatic feelings. Theft and vandalism are considered very serious crimes in the United States. Theft is defined as the act of stealing your goods; vandalism is the intentional and malicious damage to your property and / or goods. Although these crimes can happen at any moment, they are more prone to occur when your property is not occupied (during the day, while you’re at work, or during holidays, when you’re traveling).

The police will then compile a report listing of all your stolen items. You must ensure the highest level of accuracy in your report and assist the police work all the time. If you find later that other items are missing, make sure to update your initial report with the police. Insurance claims involving theft and vandalism will require a great amount of supporting documentation. In addition to the police report, try to gather all documents that prove your ownership of the stolen / vandalized items, such as credit card statements, receipts, pictures, and any other supporting files.
