The police should be the ones to check with the office to determine if there is a record of which cards were used to access your apartment. Check with the police and ask what is the status of there theft investigation.

File your claim and the insurance company will definitely want to know if the police checked, if no why not and what was discovered. That is the reason why the police didn't want you to file a claim. If there is no insurance company to demand answers, the police can file the case away and go on their merry way.

My biggest concern with this was the fact that the officer writing the police report essentially (well.. as vaguely as possible without outright saying it) said it would be a very bad idea to try and file an insurance claim given the lack of any circumstantial evidence.

I'm trying to determine the best course of action that keeps me financially stable considering the immediate loss.

I'd think contacting the PD and asking for a supervisor or some higher up person, then explain the situation and tell them how the police officer handled the situation and they'll be hearing from your lawyer if proper action isn't taken.

I'd then go through the insurance company without a doubt and also at least call a lawyer and ask for suggestions and go from there.

You're talking $13,000 gone, this is worth the effort.

This is good advice.

Take plenty of pictures before you clean up.

Worst case scenario, they deny your claim and you have to talk to a lawyer anyway. If you're completely honest (tell them that you believe it was an inside job, how you believe their system records ID#s when entering an area, etc) you may have a chance for the insurance company to go after these people.

I appreciate your advice, and I most definitely see the logic in what you are saying. I am simply attempting to ascertain if this information can indeed be gained. Knowing the American legal system and how basically anything is possible, I do not have the personal time nor finances to devote to ongoing litigation over insurance issues if the insurance company deems there is no proof, and in turn begins to investigate me for possible insurance fraud. To this end I want to be damn sure that I can prove my case before I bring it to someone else, and am attempting to determine what other methods I can use to obtain these records.

The cold hard facts are if these records are indeed not kept and I have nothing to prove my claim, the insurance company may come after me to regain their financial loss for the investigation - as in my experience these organizations only care about themselves, not the customer. And any criminal inquiry on me will show on my next security clearance check and would be legitimate reason to terminate me from my position where I work. It would almost be more financially sound to me to simply take the hit and move on with life than it would be to open an investigation with no evidence..

WTF man!?!?

Take the hit and move on? Fvck that sh!t!!

You've been robbed at no fault of your own!

I'd be so damn pissed I'd stop at nothing to get to the bottom if it and get my insurance claim filled.
