What is a reasonable amount of time for an Insurance Company to process a theft claim?

Every claim is different and could take a number of months to fully investigate and resolve. With theft claims, the time taken can depend on the circumstances around the investigation, especially if the police are involved. The best thing to do would be to keep regular contact with your insurer to understand the progress of your claim and they should be able to provide you with an updated timeframe.
