21 ) On April 1 of the current year, Paul's house was robbed. He apparently interrupted the burglar because all that's missing is an antique brooch he inherited from his grandmother (June 12, 2006) and $300 in cash. Unfortunately, he didn't have a separate rider on her insurance policy covering the jewelry. Therefore, the insurance company reimbursed him only $500 for the brooch. His basis in the brooch was $6,000, and its fair market value was $7,500. His insurance policy also limits to $100 the amount of cash that can be claimed in a theft what's the Casualty Loss ?
