Cool Application of the Week: What You Own

So this week's is not an application, but more of a great list everyone should have somewhere printed out, written down and stored safely away. The reason for this thought was, I was talking with a buddy the other day about a recent robbery in his home, and I thought back on my own experience into this terrible hell of sorts. 

The first thing for me was I was lucky, because I had a list of serial numbers, purchase dates and cost of items stored away. So the insurance people loved me, along with the police department. This list made it easy to track and place a true cost on what was taken. The list also allowed me to make sure everything was recovered or covered in the reimbursement from the insurance company.

So we have a list for going to the store to purchase, right? Then this is just a great extension to that list. Write it down, put it in a safe place, because you may need it one day.
