Law (general) / possible action in the case of theft on the streets
Catalan term or phrase: Si no ho feu, només podreu reclamar els perjudicis que aquests fets us hagin ...
Si no ho feu, només podreu reclamar els perjudicis que aquests fets us hagin ocasionat.

I just need to have a correct translation of the text up to 'perjudicis'. This sentence appears on the police form used for reporting street thefts of tourists' possessions. The preceding sentence says the police can take action to prosecute the alleged villains.
Thank you in advance.
