[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 495388, member: 85"]Unfortunately, it is a bitter loss for you. The store owner's policy probably doesn't cover theft. It's like renter's insurance. You rent an apartment, if it goes up in flames your personal items are not covered by the apartment owner. That is why a tenant needs to purchase renter's insurance. Same would apply to a rented consignment area. Call the police yourself. They should have been called immediately upon finding the loss of goods. I would call first thing in the morning and have them meet you at the store. Be sure to take pictures of the damage to the cabinet. Make sure you get a copy of the police report. As suggested your homeowner's may cover it, but I doubt it. You will be able to write it off as a loss on your taxes.[/QUOTE]
