Engraving The Last Ditch Effort In Home Security
By engraving your social security number or drivers license number including the state on your valuables you may help the police locate you in case somewhere along the line they run across your valuables. For items you wouldnt want to engrave such as fine china you should take pictures of these goods in case you need to prove ownership upon your home being burglarized. In addition its always good to take a household inventory by using a still camera or video camera to record the assets of your home. Last, but not least make sure to record the serial numbers of all electronics as these are some of the first things crooks look for when robbing a house. The police can enter the serial numbers into a database in case any of your stolen goods show up down the road. Last, but not least in case of fire store the results of your home inventory in a safe deposit box or at a friends house so you know your proof of ownership wont be stolen or destroyed in a fire.
