    Great question! In most cases yes, provided you were not negligent. ( Left the home unlocked might be taken for negligence in some cases, for example). It is always a good idea to take pictures of your things, and record their serial and model numbers so that you have accurate information to give to the insurance company along with the police report when you file your claim. If you would like more information, please contact me. Thanks for asking!

    Most homeowners insurance polices are written on a special form that covers burglary. Even if your front door was left unlocked or a window open a robber is still a robbery and you would have coverage minus your deductible. Make sure you obtain a police report and make a list of all items stolen. Any receipts or pictures are very helpful in a claims process.
