Investopedia explains 'Vandalism Endorsement'

Some types of insurance coverages are expensive for both the policyholder and the insurance company, and because policyholders have different coverage needs it is common for a basic policy to be supplemented by various endorsements (also called riders) that provide the specific coverage the policyholder needs. Each endorsement requires the policyholder to pay an additional premium. Other examples of property coverage that are unlikely to be included in a basic policy but can be purchased as endorsements include glass insurance and sprinkler damage insurance.
