In transport, in line, in a street crowd, an inattentive person risks becoming a victim of robbers. If such a nuisance has occurred, then you must apply to the law enforcement agencies. Perhaps the thief will be able to detain in hot pursuit.
It is necessary
- - recordings of surveillance cameras;
- - witness's testimonies.
Instructions
Step 1
Take action immediately after you notice the loss. Remember when the stolen item (wallet, phone, etc.) was still with you. This is necessary in order to determine the approximate place and time of the theft. Such data can be of great help to you to prove the fact of theft and to find the thief.
Step 2
For example, you find that your mobile phone has disappeared from your pocket. The last time you held it in your hands was 10 minutes ago, in the foyer of a large, monitored store. Contact the police and state the alleged location of the theft on your statement. Specialists will study the recordings of security cameras, where you are captured with a mobile phone. Even if they fail to examine the thief's appearance, the very fact of theft will be proven.
Step 3
Another way to prove the theft is by testimony. Law enforcement agencies may question the very fact that you have stolen property. In this case, ask those people who can testify that they saw the stolen item from you to act as witnesses.
Step 4
If you have lost your expensive equipment, then, in addition to eyewitness statements, provide the relevant documents (check, passport, warranty card from the store, etc.). This is only circumstantial evidence, but in conjunction with statements, testimonies and other facts confirming the theft, they can also be attached to the case.
Step 5
The situation is simpler with the theft that occurred at your home. To prove the fact of theft, do not touch anything in the robbed apartment. Don't put things in order, you can destroy the traces of criminals. Call the police. Traces of burglary, disorder, testimony of neighbors (if any) are sufficient evidence to initiate a criminal case.
Step 6
Remember that it is easier to prevent theft than to prove it and, moreover, to find the stolen.
