When you first experience vandalism or theft, you should immediately reach out to the police so that you can report the incident. After the police have investigated the scene and have the report on record, you can contact your agent to inform them of what happened. While the police may access the damage, your insurance company will also have its own methods of determining the value of the property damage due to vandalism or theft. Next, it is recommended that you detail a list of the property that was stolen if you experienced a theft. If there was any vandalism, you can list the damage that happened to your property. Another suggestion is to take pictures of your entire home before you clean it up to show the amount of damage it sustained. If you were injured or harmed, your medical bills can also be included in the total amount of damages.
