Bus/Financial - Insurance | | English term or phrase: theft to property | will not be held liable for any loss, damage or theft to property including vehicles
I am not quite sure I understand 'theft to' property. Does this mean theft of property or theft from a property...
This is part of an insurance policy I am translating
Thank you for your help. |

| | theft of property | Explanation:
Yes, it means theft of property.
It means XXX will not be held liable for:
1. loss of property;
2. damage to property; or
3. theft of property.
I think it'd be better to rephrase it as: ... will not be held liable for theft, loss, or damage to property, including vehicles.

Asker: so this is synonymous with theft of property then (and not theft from a building, car etc?)
