When theft occurs on your property, it can leave you feeling vulnerable and uncertain about how to proceed. In your effort to resolve things quickly, it’s common to miss important steps that can impact your insurance claim. Failing to address the right details could lead to a settlement that’s less than what you’re entitled to.

What Qualifies as Theft?


Theft is generally understood as the unauthorized and intentional act of taking another person’s property. It commonly includes:

  • Stealing items left outside your property, even if security measures are in place
  • Entering your home to remove personal possessions
  • Looting and claiming ownership of someone else's property

Are Theft Claims Covered Under Your Insurance Policy?


It's important to check that your insurance policy covers theft and vandalism. Be sure to contact your provider to go over the specifics, including any exclusions or limitations. Some policies may set a maximum on how much they reimburse for stolen items, which could leave you with a smaller payout. Also, clarify whether your policy reimburses the replacement cost or actual cash value of stolen items, as this can significantly affect your settlement.

What To Do If You Are a Victim Of Theft


If your property falls victim to burglary or vandalism, take these steps to strengthen your claim and improve your chances of a fair settlement:

  • Ensure Safety First

    Check that your property is secure before re-entering. If you have any doubts that someone is still inside, call the police immediately.

  • File A Police Report

    Filing a police report is crucial, as it creates an official record of the incident, which is required for insurance claims.

  • Take Photos

    Take high-quality photos of any damage or missing items. These will be important in backing up your claim.

  • Prepare A List Of Stolen And Damaged Items

    Following your contact with the police and Excel Adjusters, the next step is to prepare a detailed list of all stolen or damaged property to support your claim. Be sure to include:

    • The purchase date and location for each item
    • The cost of each item, and receipts if you have them
    • Photos or videos of the stolen or damaged items as visual evidence
    • Documentation proving ownership, such as titles or deeds, when applicable
  • Contact Excel Adjusters, a Licensed Public Adjuster in Orange County

    Managing an insurance claim after a theft can feel like an uphill battle. Insurance companies typically assign independent adjusters to handle claims, but these professionals may not prioritize your needs. Their focus might be on reducing the amount they pay for theft and damages.

    Choosing a licensed public adjuster in Orange County, like the skilled professionals at Excel Adjusters, can make all the difference. We are independent, working only on your behalf to ensure you receive a fair and just settlement.

How Excel Adjusters Can Help With Your Theft Claim


Our mission at Excel Adjusters is to support you in navigating the insurance claims process, ensuring you receive the fair compensation you deserve for your theft or vandalism claim. As independent public adjusters, our loyalty is to you, not the insurance company. Here’s how we can assist:

Notify Your Insurance Provider

Notify Your Insurance Provider


We ensure that every detail of your theft claim is communicated to your insurance provider clearly and on time. While you can manage a claim yourself, having a public adjuster helps ensure your policy is fully understood, and that your interests remain protected at all times.

Guide You Through the Entire Insurance Claims Process


We’re there from start to finish—helping you through every step of the claims process. We manage the paperwork, work with field agents during their inspections, and ensure the insurance company stays accountable.

Maximize Your Payouts

Assist at Every Stage of the Theft Claim


Regardless of whether you’re starting a new insurance claim or dealing with one that has been denied, Excel Adjusters in Orange County is here to guide you. We ensure that your claim is processed in accordance with your policy’s guidelines and advocate for the full compensation you are entitled to.

  • If your insurance company refuses to cover ALE (Additional Living Expenses) or Loss of Use expenses, it can be frustrating and leave you in a tough spot. In this case, we can step in and negotiate on your behalf, securing reimbursement for your living expenses while you're displaced. Trying to handle this alone can be challenging, but we make sure the process is managed smoothly and professionally.

  • When theft causes property damage, insurance companies may attempt to reduce costs by selecting cheaper repair services, which often leads to poor-quality restoration. If you're dissatisfied with the repairs, we will work to enforce your insurance policy’s "like-for-like" replacement clause, ensuring you're properly compensated with items of the same quality and value.

  • If your claim has been denied, we’ll present compelling evidence to your insurance provider to ensure your theft or vandalism claim is processed fairly. We handle all communication with the insurer, working tirelessly to secure the compensation you’re entitled to.

Leave the complexities of your theft or vandalism claim to us, while you focus on restoring your property.
