While I was at work today, my apartment was burglarized. The police have already been here and done their report. About 500 cds and a hundred or so DVDs were taken, and a couple of six packs of beer from the fridge. It looks like they tried to take the TV (the power cord and cable had been disconnected) but decided against it. I guess they didn't bother with the TV and the computer because they're both old.
I have no receipts for any of the DVDs or CDs, and I never made a catalog or checklist for them. Will I have to produce a list with every separate item on it? The CDs were collected over twenty years, and there is no hope of getting receipts for all of them or any substantial number of them. I bought a few from Amazon.com, so I might be able to produce some documentation for those. The situation with the DVDs is the same.
How much hassle am I going to get from my insurer? I've heard ugly stories of companies lowballing claims filed on their policies and using delaying tactics to discourage the filers.
I feel kind of dazed right now. I think I'm not going to go to work tomorrow. The lock on the back door is broken, and I need to speak to the landlord about that.
Any advice offered is greatly appreciated.
