Make sure that the police report you obtain is an official one, and that all the items that have been stolen are clearly detailed. You’ll also need to capture the circumstances surrounding the event. Remember, the more information on the report, the better.
When you submit your claim, you’ll also need to provide proof of purchase and/or ownership in relation to the stolen items.
