Ok, so who has ever had their place broken into?
First I filed the police report. Then after I actually had a handle on what really was missing I amended the police report. I gathered all of the documentation I could find for the things that were missing - it's amazing how often I just throw away the receipts - and sent that along with an itemized list to the insurance company.
Now what? How long will this take? The one guy I spoke to said that they have 15 days to process the claim, but that it usually gets done sooner. Will I hear from them in the meantime?
I called my new apartment complex yesterday. I am supposed to be moving on August 31 but naturally I want to get out of here as soon as possible. They told me the current tenant moves out on the 19th and that they may be able to get me in that weekend - the 24th or 25th. They were going to check on a few things and let me know.
That would be fantastic. I'm not necessarily afraid to be in my current apartment. But I just don't like it any more.
Moving forward, I am going to try to keep a much better record of what I own. Pictures of all new/expensive items. Photocopies of receipts so that they don't fade. What else do I need to do?

Yikes!! I don't keep anything!!!! I need to start keeping receipts.
ReplyDeleteSo scary! Last year there was a shooting in my old apartment complex a week before I was set move out. I find out more details from the news than from the management - not cool!
ReplyDeleteAlso, don't ever leave anything in plain sight in your car! I pretty much only ever have reusable grocery bags and a sweater in my backseat. I've never had my car broken into but I wouldn't doubt that someone has looked inside and contemplated it before.
Thats a good idea to keep pictures of the receipts. Never thought to keep them at all.
