What Qualifies as Theft?


Theft is the unlawful and deliberate act of taking someone else's property. It can include:

  • Taking items left outside your property, even if you have security systems in place
  • Entering your home and removing personal possessions
  • Looting and taking ownership of another person’s property

Are Theft Claims Covered Under Your Insurance Policy?


It’s essential to confirm that your insurance policy covers theft and vandalism. Reach out to your provider to ensure you fully understand the details, including any exclusions or limitations. Some policies have a maximum reimbursement for stolen items, which may not fully cover your loss. Be sure to clarify whether the policy reimburses the replacement cost or actual cash value, as this could affect the final outcome of your claim.

What To Do If You Are a Victim Of Theft


In the event of a break-in or vandalism at your property, follow these actions to protect your claim and ensure a higher chance of a just settlement:

  • Ensure Safety First

    Verify that your property is secure before re-entering. If you feel someone is still in the property, contact the authorities immediately.

  • File A Police Report

    File a police report to establish an official account of the theft or vandalism, which is crucial for your insurance claim.

  • Take Photos

    Photograph any damages or stolen items clearly. These images will play an important role in proving your insurance claim.

  • Prepare A List Of Stolen And Damaged Items

    After reaching out to the police and Excel Adjusters, the next step is to prepare an organized list of all stolen or damaged items to validate your claim. Include:

    • The date and place of purchase for each item
    • The cost of each item, with receipts if available
    • Visual evidence, such as photos or videos, of the stolen or damaged property
    • Documentation of ownership, such as titles or deeds, when applicable

    Dealing with an insurance claim after a theft can be a complicated and exhausting experience. Typically, insurance companies rely on independent adjusters to handle claims, but these professionals often aren't working for you. They may look for ways to undercut the reimbursement for stolen property and damages.

    By choosing a licensed public adjuster in San Jose, such as the experts at Excel Adjusters, you are ensuring that your claim is in capable hands. We are independent and work exclusively for you, helping you secure a fair settlement.

How Excel Adjusters Can Help With Your Theft Claim


At Excel Adjusters, we focus on helping you navigate the insurance claims process and securing a fair and reasonable settlement for your theft or vandalism claim. As independent public adjusters, we are here to represent you, not the insurance company. Here’s how we can support you:

Notify Your Insurance Provider

Notify Your Insurance Provider


We communicate directly with your insurance provider to ensure that all required information is submitted correctly and promptly. Although managing a theft claim is possible independently, a public adjuster ensures that your policy is thoroughly understood and your best interests are safeguarded.

Guide You Through the Entire Insurance Claims Process


From the moment you file your theft claim to the final settlement, we are by your side. We handle the necessary paperwork, assist during inspections, and ensure the insurance company adheres to their commitments.

Maximize Your Payouts

Assist at Every Stage of the Theft Claim


No matter whether you’re beginning your insurance claim or dealing with one that has been denied, Excel Adjusters in San Jose is here to help. We ensure that your claim is handled in accordance with your policy’s terms and fight to secure the full compensation you deserve.

  • If your insurance provider refuses to cover ALE (Additional Living Expenses) or Loss of Use expenses, it can put you in a difficult position. We are ready to assist in negotiating with your insurer to secure reimbursement for your living costs while you’re temporarily displaced. Handling this on your own can be overwhelming, but we’ll manage the process efficiently and professionally.

  • When property damage occurs due to theft, insurance companies may opt for cheaper repair services, which can lead to subpar restoration work. If you are unhappy with the repairs made, we will ensure that your policy’s "like-for-like" replacement clause is upheld, securing you a replacement of the same quality and value.

  • If your claim is denied, we’ll help provide the necessary evidence to your insurance company, ensuring that your theft or vandalism claim is properly processed. We handle all communication with your insurer, working diligently to secure the compensation you are entitled to.

Let us handle the complexities of your theft or vandalism claim while you focus on the restoration of your property.
