How can I identify my belongings to prevent theft?
To identify your belongings:
  • Engrave your initials or social security number on them, record serial number information, and take videotapes or photographs of the items.

  • List your valuables by serial numbers and identifying features on an inventory sheet. This sheet should be kept separately, in a safe place, like a safe or safety deposit box.
