Does Inland Marine Cover Theft?

Inland-marine theft coverage applies only to property and losses included by the form; employee, vehicle, and missing-property exclusions may limit it.

A missing item may not meet the form’s definition of theft.

Check the evidence required for a theft claim, vehicle and jobsite safeguards, exclusions, and limits for your highest-value equipment.
