I know what you are going through. This June my d’s apartment was broken into 3 time in 9 days. With her they took cash (tip money from rest. work), ipod, good jewelry (probably not an issue with guys)and various other easily sold items. Another thing was that they opened her bank statement that was laying on table–she changed all her banking stuff (ATM, checking and credit card that was linked). Oh, another thing they took was beer! She and roommate each had a 6 pack (different brands). They took one and left the other–such discriminating tastes ;).

Our homeowners would have covered except for the deductible; but that was 1K and each break-in the loss was just over the deductible —so wasn’t worth putting in a claim and we were out the money.

Obviously, we moved the girls to a more secure complex and I did get her renter’s insurance in her own name with a lower deductible.
