If you purchased an expensive item for your Valentine, make sure you get it insured. Most homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policies restrict coverage for items like jewelry over $1,000. In addition, most policies cover named perils for fire and theft, etc. However, the policies may exclude coverage for the ring that gets flushed down the toilet -- that is unless the expensive item is scheduled. To cover such circumstances that the insurance industry has dubbed “mysterious disappearance”, you will need a valuable articles personal property endorsement on your homeowner’s or renter’s policy.
