Answer 1

I'm afraid this is like closing the barn door after the horse is gone. You should have had these items appraised and photographed. That way you would have a record of them. Insurance companies don't put any worth on sentimental value. You don't even know what was stolen. I am sorry for your loss. It is a painful lesson to learn. You must be devastated.
