MTYPES OF VANDALISM

When vandalism occurs on your personal property, especially your home, it feels like a personal attack. Some examples of “smaller” acts of vandalism include a keyed or scratched car, getting “egged”, or trashing the property. Larger acts of vandalism include graffiti, broken windows, or slashing car tires. Any act of vandalism should be taken seriously as these are considered intentional acts.

PROVING OWNERSHIP OF A STOLEN ITEM

One of the most difficult parts of filing an insurance claim for a stolen item is proving that you owned the item in the first place. Keeping an updated inventory of your personal belongings is highly recommended for this reason. However, if you don’t have that proof of purchase with receipts and/or bank statements could potentially help prove ownership.
