The Law To Know

Free tool

Report stolen property to the police in their language

Your bag or phone was stolen, and the police speak a language you do not. Choose their language and yours, fill in the details that need no translation (names, numbers, dates, amounts), tick the boxes, and print. Every label on the page appears in both languages, so the officer can read it and you can check it. It also asks for a signed, stamped copy with a report number, which your insurer will need.

Languages: English, Bulgarian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Croatian, Dutch, Swedish, Greek, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Indonesian, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean. Nothing you type leaves your device.

What to do next

  1. Call your bank at once to block stolen cards.
  2. Report the theft at the nearest police station and ask for a copy with a report number: insurers need it.
  3. If your passport was taken, contact your embassy for an emergency travel document.
  4. Note serial numbers and IMEI numbers (dial *#06# on a phone) before you travel, and keep photos of receipts.

Your rights as a victim

In the European Union, a victim of crime who does not understand the language of the authority is entitled to make the complaint in a language they understand, or with the necessary language help, and to a written acknowledgment of the complaint, translated if they ask. The rule is in the EU Victims’ Rights Directive. How well it works varies from station to station, which is why a form like this helps. Outside the EU the rules differ. This is general information, not legal advice.
