Theft Cover*

This option can cover your contents and stock from theft, attempted theft or armed hold up. It is not uncommon for theft insurance to require the item stolen to have been securely stored before the theft and for there to be evidence of forcible entry in the commission of the theft.

According to the Australian Government’s Institute of Criminology, there are proportionally more crimes committed against businesses than households, with the most common being shoplifting, followed by burglary ^
