Credit cards, passports and other forms of identity are favourites. Burglars can sell documents with personal details for £15 an item, while bundles of documents with the same identity can fetch 10 times that, LV says.
John O'Roarke, managing director of LV said: "Homeowners should ensure they store personal documents securely and if possible separately to minimise the risk of ID theft."
