Question

If my engagement ring got stolen, would the homeowners cover it?
A good answer

Only up to $1,500. The policy booklet's special limits cap theft of jewelry, watches and furs at $1,500 in total, and the ring is not scheduled: the declarations say scheduled personal property none, and Leah's own entry says it was appraised at $6,800 in 2021 and is not on the home policy. The booklet also says property that is simply lost or misplaced is not theft. The limit can only be raised by scheduling the ring.

1,500

bodyring - Denise needs the appraisal to schedule it. ~$60/yr
Traps it covers

two_of_a_kind A current and a previous policy for the house and for the Outback, two debit cards on one account, two Wi-Fi networks.

only_in_file The 1% wind and hail deductible ($4,120) is only in the policy declarations and the booklet; Leah's hail note says only "a percent". The booklet is the long document. Two of its clauses matter: the special limit of $1,500 for theft of jewelry (the ring, appraised at $6,800, was never scheduled), and the freezing clause (no cover for frozen pipes while the house is unoccupied unless the heat is kept on or the water is shut off and drained), which matters for sixteen nights away in December.
