n Weird   Later on, Criminal Policemen  ( fingerprinting technicians ) came.  They searched everywhere around bed room and doors, but failed to find any finger prints ──  weird thing is  ──  they can not even find my fingerprints.   I gave them some imported padlocks which being used in recent days after the theft incident  ──  they still found nothing on padlocks.   More weird is  ──   they used a very strong lighting to examine and/or take picture of my new lock installed after the larceny, instead of checking or identifying the most elusive evidence on old lock that thief opened. 
　

n Bizarre   Criminal policemen wondered :
(1) Why the thief (thieves) did not leave house cluttered, for searching valuable objects.  
(2) Why did the thief know there was a safety box in bed room?
Strange question !  What the thief needed to know is where the valuable were   ──  According to Taiwan's courthouse written judgments, many thieves went bed room (most private in home) first;  jewelry box, necklaces, bracelets, watch are usually there.   Besides, the door of my bed room installed a lock, which suggests its "importance".   The thief saw a large safety box in there, drawers certainly were not his first choice, assuming the risk in limited time.   Keeping the house neat might misdirect police and largely delay the house owner discovering and reporting a theft incident.   Nothing is impossible  ──  CNN (2019-5-23): an intruder broke into a house, cleaned it and left.   These must be over criminal police's head.

have suspect's fingerprint

Yahoo and  the China Times' CTwant (2022-1-2) reported that 安達 insurance company rejected a client's claim, in spite of police station giving  "Case Handling" document (<案件處理證明單>) which prints out a missing property  - a newest mobile phone. 

Taipei's police station in Zhongxiao W. Rd told me via phone that they will print all lost items for a "missing property" case , but not for "Offenses of Larceny/Theft" case.  Items stolen are only written in the "questioned by police" document (筆錄).
　

That ins. company seemed to treat it as a "property missing" case so as not to do anything about the claim ?  (tw.news.yahoo.com/掉漆失竊險1-買iphone13半個月被偷-2年前賠過-竟成拒賠理由-220000533.html)

案件處理證明單

larceny  ──   damaging door or window

 ☉The China Times:  Taiwan's gov., Financial Supervisory Commission (金管會) declared that without an adjustment in premiums, dwelling fire insurance coverage is to expand - theft is covered by the policy.   Attempt to obtain illegal benefits through theft, the thief damages residential doors, windows, walls, or other security equipment, to invade a house to steal or snatch movable property.  Each theft accident can be compensated NT 100,000,  deductible of NT 5,000 . The theft insurance does not need to be premised on the occurrence of a fire accident.

But the issue is many criminals can open the door lock within a short time without causing any damages to door or windows.  How the insurance companies implement government's "benevolent rule" needs further observation.

(Chinese version : 金管會表示，被保險人及配偶或其家屬等人以外的任何人，企圖透過竊盜獲取不法利益，進而毀損住宅門窗、牆垣、或其他安全設備，並侵入屋內竊取或搶奪動產，每一事故可賠10萬元，但須先行負擔自負額5000元。 金管會強調，竊盜保險不需以發生火災為前提，只要有因竊盜而損失屋內動產，都可提出理賠。

保險所認定的竊盜事件，通常必須是歹徒企圖獲取不法利益，「毀越門窗、牆垣、或其他安全設備，而從事竊取、搶奪或強盜行為」，才屬於理賠的範圍，且被保險人應於標的物失竊後的24小時內盡速通知保險公司，並於7日內提供損失清單 、賠償申請。)

precious objects   ──   exclusions

New York Times (2021-4-12):  Insurance is a good idea. “Watches and jewelry are easy to steal.”.  Covering the timepiece in a general homeowner's or renter's policy could make sense.  

But some of Taiwan's theft insurances (including my ins. co.) do not cover watches.  Valuable items such as jewelry,  necklaces, bracelets, gemstones, gold and silverware and leather goods, medals, antiques, sculptures, manuscripts, rare books, design/patterns, commodities, paintings, stocks, coins, banknotes, stamps, account books, certificates... usually are exclusions in Taiwan's larceny insurances.  Even you specifically prescribed certain precious items like jewels, necklaces, bracelets, gemstones, gold and silverware,  leather goods in the contract, the limit probably is NT$ 10,000 (about US$ 330) for each.  

By contrast, according to Insurance Information Institute (III), in the US, a standard homeowners policy includes coverage for jewelry and other precious items such as watches and furs, these items are covered for losses caused by all the perils included in your policy such as fire, theft and vandalism.  Certain types of property like jewelry can be easily lost or stolen   ──   its coverage limits often are capped at US$1,000 or $2,000.   You may schedule your jewelry with a floater, or jewelry protection insurance, the limit will be Appraised value.

In Taiwan, the insured are advised to read the fine print in their policies before taking out any insurance.
