It’s the season for gifts and jewelry, cameras and other high-value presents that are top on the popularity lists.

Unfortunately, proud gift recipients can be in for a bitter experience. If their valuable piece gets lost or stolen, they may not have adequate coverage under their home or auto insurance. Standard insurance policies usually have limits on jewelry, art and other costly objects.

The Bride that Lost Valuables

“You never think this is going to happen,” said 28-year-old Rachel Tepper of Brooklyn, NY just days before her wedding. “Every time I think about how I’m never going to see that ring again, I just feel sick.”

Rachel Tepper’s heirloom ring given to her by her grandmother along with expensive jewelry was taken from her apartment along with laptop computers, cameras, accompanying lenses and money on a hot August 24, 2015 late evening. In all, the stolen loot amounted to about $28,000 in losses.

Facing the Devastation of a theft
