In the past year, the number of burglaries has increased significantly compared to the previous year. This is shown by looking at the police crime statistics for 2022. If you want to protect yourself from the financial consequences of a burglary, you can take out household contents insurance. This does not even have to be expensive, according to a study by the advice portal “Finanztip.de”. Some tariffs start at 25 euros. But as is so often the case, the devil is in the details.

A comparison is worthwhile

The policies can differ greatly in the scope of insurance. For example, the theft of garden furniture or bicycles is not insured in every tariff. Even if strollers are stolen from a shared stairwell, only some insurance companies will pay.

In addition, the sums insured can vary greatly – for example, in the case of stolen cash that was in the apartment. Therefore, the tariff should always correspond to the individual needs of the policyholder. If you want to compare different tariffs and their scope of services quickly and clearly, you can use the common online comparison portals, for example.
