If you are the victim of theft, the first thing you should do is contact the police. The police will request that you visit the police station so that you can be interviewed and an official police report can be prepared. Credit card companies, banks, insurance agencies and other entities that you might be contacting as part of the resolution process will want proof that you have been involved in a theft incident. A completed police report is evidence that you have been the victim of theft. It demonstrates that you are serious about remedying the problem. |
