Burglarized Twice in a Row...

Burglary Victims May Become Victims Again

We recently had a client call for a home inventory after their home was burglarized. A few weeks after everything had been replaced, they were burglarized again. The thieves stole all of their brand new TVs and other electronic equipment. When the police arrived, our client pulled out their home inventory and were able to give the police detailed information like make, model and serial numbers of their stolen electronics. Not only were the police impressed with their records, but having this information immediately at hand may greatly increase the chances of their stolen property being returned. It also may be the thing that can provide evidence to convict the criminals.

Just imagine your computer being stolen. How long would it take you to get your digital life back in order? Do you have the make, model and serial number stored in a safe place? Do you have your digital information backed up? TVs can be replaced but these days our computers hold so much information that we need daily as well as personal and financial information you would not want thieves to have.

It seems obvious that our clients have become a target of a thief or a ring of thieves. Thieves know you will be replacing TVs and computers rather quickly. These thieves gave their victims just enough time to strike again. They made off with big beautiful brand new TVs and electronics, only this time they took their computer.

You Have Layers of Protection:

· You have homeowners insurance to protect you, but that comes with a high deductible these days.

· You have a home security system, but thieves know they have 3-10 minutes before police arrive once they have been dispatched.

· Having a Home Inventory provides proof of your claim but it can also provide information to the police that could lead to getting criminals off the street.

A Home Inventory is designed to protect you from loss as well as a seemingly insurmountable task of documenting your property in the event of total loss. Having a home inventory can provide you with peace of mind that you have done everything you can do to protect your family’s financial future if something should happen.
