Common confusion points
Confusing 'loss' vs. 'damage': Loss means it is gone; damage means it remains but is harmed.
Not confirming what constitutes a 'riot': Is a large protest enough? Or must there be actual fighting?
Mixing up the jurisdiction: Ensure you file where the property was taken, not just where you live.
Oversimplifying the event: Don't just write 'theft'; specify *how* it was unlawfully taken during the riot.
