Try this to help organize it. RedLightDepositBox.Com. The sites design is a collaboration of law enforcement agencies, specialty stores like pawn shops, second hand stores, etc, and citizens that would like a safe way to protect their valuables. Any one may use the site and works with a lot of different business types.

Citizens that go to the website and sign up have many options in keeping inventory safe. They start by inputting their belongings serial, make, and model numbers into our system so that from that point on it is now searchable by stores and law enforcement agencies. If an item does not have a serial you may also create a tag number that our system creates you can have put on that item so it can be searchable. If an item a user owns becomes stolen or damaged they may create a police report or an insurance claim report directly from the site. In having items inventoried this way allows users to flag their items stolen or lost and if someone tries to sell or pawn it to a store using our system that store owner will immediately see the status of the item is stolen and my contact the police instead of paying money for the item only to find out that it was stolen later.

When you see someone write Fox as Faux, you immediately know they are a left-wing nut.

Esmo,

LOL! No other station does that, right?

I’m not saying Fox isn’t biased, but you can’t tell me the other stations aren’t biased the other way. Of course that may be hard to see if you agree with them.

I didn’t mean for this to turn into a political discussion.

Despite Faux News and Faux Business News spouting worthless propaganda and junk, this is actually a good idea for recording your belongings. However, updating your insurance for a big purchase is really dependent on your area, and may not be worth insuring.

As an alternative suggestion, you can go through the house with a digital camera and take photos of everything, then upload to a personal photo site and put it in a protected, unshared folder. then you can access it from anywhere, regardless of the burnt or unburnt state of your home and/or bank.
