Without seeing your policy, it is difficult to answer with certainty.

However, when you are renting, by definition, you do not own the premises. Therefore a renter's policy covers primarily contents. Consequently, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy, a theft claim should be allowed.

Be aware that if theft is claimed, the insurer will conduct an investigation to determine that you in fact owned the property, that you were not complicit in the loss, and as to the value of the property. Note also, that it may or may not make sense to make a claim depending upon the amount of your deductible. That is, it may not make sense if the value of the item is only marginally greater than the deductible. It would make no sense if the deductible is greater than the value of the item.

Will homeowners insurance cover damage to car from a fallen tree?

It depends on whether or not the car carried comprehensive insurance. If it did the auto owner's insurance would cover the tree damage, regardless of the cause. If the car did not have comp. coverage, then the car owner may be able to make a liability claim against the tree owner's homeowners insurance coverage. If the homeowner's insurance denies the claim, the car owner can still seek a civil award against the homeowner's personal assets.
