• Damage to the property due to the act of burglary: The home insurance company not only covers losses on the furniture, but also pays for the additional expenses that may occur in fixing the damages caused by the intruders. In case of such an unfortunate incidence another dent to your pocket comes from repairing the locks, glasses, doors, windows, and other breakage by the burglars. However, with a home insurance, this will again be taken care of.
