Insurance is very expensive. All I got is my safes

If you have Home owners insurance ( and serial numbers ) a rider to cover them isnt that much and UIS needed as most home owners policy's wont be covering them.

I have a few gun safes and a couple gun cabinets and then my Homeowners insurance to cover my firearms. About 11 years ago we did a video of all our household belongings and put it in our safety deposit box but it really needs to be done again, irs a good way to show all your in home belongings to the insurance company in case of fire or theft plus we have our boats on the homeowners policy too.

Get a motion detection light. Keep your stuff out of sight. Get a dog. That's all I can say without getting political.

Serial number, pictures and a gun safe. I also carve my name and number in the stock under the barrel. Except for a few of the collector firearms.

Camera system..... I had my car window broken 2 Christmas seasons in a row. Since I put up a Costco security camera system and have noticed that the punks (neighborhood kids) that used to hang out in the shadows smoking have moved on. Now I am not sure if they grew up or moved away, but I am sure that the cams helped to expedite the situation.

I also keep a digital memory card with serial numbers and identifiers of all our important stuff. I started to keep an excel spreadsheet but have not updated in a year or two.

Sorry to hear about the theft, the violation feels terrible.
