If your favorite piece of jewelry goes missing from your apartment, don’t be hasty to point fingers. Without concrete evidence of theft, you have no grounds for blame, says Gotham Brokerage President Jeff Schneider.
Before you do anything, Jeff advises consulting your insurance policy. Typically, apartment insurance offers basic coverage for jewelry, but you can also purchase additional coverage, either for specific pieces or on a “blanket” basis. “The additional jewelry insurance covers against both theft and mysterious disappearance or misplacement,” he adds. “This allows you to avoid making an accusation of theft which might not be accurate.”
