Contact the authorities
The first thing to do in case of vehicle theft is to immediately contact the local authorities to report the theft. Provide them with all relevant information about your vehicle, such as the make, model, colour, registration number, and any distinctive features. A police report is essential for subsequent steps with your insurance company.
Inform your insurance company
After reporting the theft to the authorities, contact your insurance company to inform them of the situation. Provide them with the police report number and all necessary information about the theft. Vincertif can help you prepare a complete file with all the historical information and evidence needed to facilitate the claims process.
