If your house is broken into, take the following steps:
Stay outside: If you come home and suspect a break-in, don’t go inside; the intruder could still be in your house.
Call the police: Contact the police immediately and provide them with as much information as possible, including what you suspect has been stolen.
Make a list of stolen items: Write down what you suspect has been stolen, and take photos if possible. This information will be helpful for insurance purposes.
Call your insurance company: Contact your insurance agent as soon as possible to report the burglary and provide them with a copy of the police report. Most renters insurance and home insurance policies cover losses from theft.
Prevent future break-ins: Consider installing a security system or making other improvements to your home security to reduce the risk of future burglaries.
