Good Evening.
Received I call around 2330 on Thanksgiving evening from my local PD. They asked me to come home. I live in an apartment complex. Six apartments were hit.
I had a Gun Vault Deluxe. It was pried open. 4 handguns stolen, and two long guns (in cases, next to the bed).
They 'got into' the Leasing Office, and got a Master key, and hit almost everyone in my wing (indoor corridors).
I provided all 6 serial #s and descriptions of the weapons to the local PD that night, and I called my insurance company (got the answering service who gave me a claim # and said an adjuster would call me Wednesday).
I should be receiving an itemized list to fill out (already made one in excel) for what else I have found missing so far.
The value of my weapons outstrips the Firearms and Related Equipment clause ($2000) in my Renter's Insurance (about $5000 in firearms). For my $1000 deductible, does the 'extra' in firearms count as my deductible? When I originally got the policy, they never asked me if I owned firearms, so I'm upset about this 'fine print' I read in the policy. We'll see how that turns out.
I wonder if 'Ammunition' counts as related equipment? I mean, it's not 'equipment', it's ammunition! What about holsters? (I could see the argument). What about Crimson trace grips, etc?
Basically, are there any other considerations I need to be aware of? Input welcome.
