  • Forgery or alteration involving outgoing checks, drafts, promissory notes, and other similar financial instruments.
  • Theft, disappearance, and destruction of money and securities.
  • Robbery and safe burglary (property excluding money and securities) involving losses inside or outside the premises of the insured business.
  • Premises burglary involving property (except money and securities) inside the premises of the insured business.
  • Computer fraud involving money, securities, and property other than money and securities.

  • Premises theft and robbery outside premises other than money and securities.
  • Lessees of safe deposit boxes involving theft, disappearance, or destruction of securities or property other than money and securities while in a vault or during the deposit or withdrawal from a safe deposit box on the premises of the insured.
  • Securities deposited with others involving theft, disappearance, or destruction of securities that are on the inside of the premises of a custodian (party to which the insured has transferred the securities) or while the securities are outside the premises of the custodian in the possession of an employee of the custodian, or while the securities have been deposited by the custodian into a depository.
