Will the insurance cover new locks?

If you vehicle is burglarized and they got away with all of your extra keys (car, spouse's vehicle, house, garage, etc)? I'm thinking I would rather pay for new locks than pay for the theft that will most likely occur if I don't [thinking like an insurance company should].



They got all of my money so I can't have the locks changed.Will the insurance cover new locks?
Your home owners insurance will likely cover this, but it could involve raising your rates.



You might want to consider filing a compensation claim through the Texas Attorney General's Office - Crime Victims Board. We have a similar program in New York and it reimburses victims who are not able to seek restitution directly from the perpetrator. Here is a link with some more information. If you don't get anywhere with them, drop me and e-mail and I can probably get you set up with the proper victim services agency in Texas that will be able to assist you.



Questions:



Have you reported the crime?

Was anyone arrested?

Are you able to front the cost and be reimbursed later?



That totally stinks. Sorry that happened to you :-(

I would think they would cover new locks, considering your keys were stolen, which could result in another potential burglary.

If you have %26quot;lockreplacement coverage%26quot; on your auto insurance, you will most likely be covered for this since its a burglary issue.

There might be a deductible that applies, so best thing is to call your agent and ask.Will the insurance cover new locks?
