records of valuble property can save you in a disaster.
serial numbers of your fire arms, and the more expensive things in the home.
keep a copy of the records some place other than the home, such as a bank deposit box. I video tape my things plus a hard copy.
Down side is when you keep buying things and have to ad to the list.
more trips to te bank to up date your records.
iI think it can be worth it.,in the long run.
