6.3 Insurance against Theft 货物失窃保险

M: During the last two years, there has been a great increase in goods stolen abroad.

W: If they steal the entire package, that would be theft. So they don't do that. Generally, thieves open the case and take part of the contents out. Then fill the case so that the gross weight will be the same.

M: If the goods are received in apparent good order and condition, the steamship company doesn’t have liability for pilferage. How do we protect ourselves?

W: The insurance policy protects us.

M: Is it true that products of high value such as watches, jewels and luxury clothing items are often subject to pilferage?

W: It's absolutely true in the United States that losses from pilferage have been limited to high valued goods. We must study more about packing.

M：过去两年内，国外货物盗窃很猖狂。

W：如果他们偷了整件的货物就会构成偷窃行为，所以他们不会这么做。一般，窃贼会把箱子打开，把里面部分商品拿出来，然后再把箱子填满，这样货物毛重就还是一样的。

M：如果商品到达时外表上井然有序，状况良好，船运公司就不会为失窃负责。这样的话，我们该怎么保护自己呢？

W：海运保险政策可以保护我们。

M：高价值产品，比如手表、珠宝和高档服装是主要失窃对象，是真的吗？

W：在美国失窃一般都是针对高价值产品，这确实是事实，所以我们必须多学习包装知识。
