Personal property stolen while at client

[MarillionFan]

You are asking two different questions.

1) what can I claim through my company... Laptop yes, leather jacket no.
and
2) if some thing goes missing when on site, who's responsibility is it... Yours

Obscure.

Clothing needed for my work. If you've lost your McDonalds uniform then let them know they'll get you another, if its a work shirt (I need that for work) then tough(let them know). We all need to wear clothes to work doesn't make it a business expense.

You're supposed to lock things away. I don't see the company has an obligation here. The only person liable is whoever took it.

I had a pen stolen once by a cleaner. It's just tough.

A cleaner who steals

Most cleaners don't touch the property they clean, likewise builders if they inclined to steal will do your neighbours properties not yours.
