What to Do When Your Car Is Stolen and Cannot Be Found?
1 Answers
After your vehicle is stolen, you should take the following steps: 1. Report to the police: File a report with the public security department within 24 hours (excluding major natural disasters or other significant accidents). Obtain a written statement from the public security department confirming the vehicle's theft. Then, take this document to the vehicle management office to cancel the license plate. This way, if the vehicle with this license plate is stopped by traffic police, there will be a lead. 2. Report to the insurance company: Notify your insurance company within 48 hours. If you exceed this timeframe, the insurance company may deny your claim (unless the theft is due to natural disasters). The process for claiming insurance for a stolen vehicle: 1. Complete the paperwork: Bring your insurance policy, vehicle registration, and driver's license to the insurance company's claims department. Fill out the "Vehicle Loss Registration Form," "Loss Notification," "Rights Transfer Agreement," and a checklist of required documents for theft insurance claims. 2. Obtain proof: After reporting to the insurance company, wait for three months, then request a vehicle theft certificate from the public security department. Use this to claim compensation from the insurance company. 3. Submit a theft report: After three months, file a detailed theft report with the public security department. They will issue an official theft certificate for your insurance claim.
