It would surprise you to grasp how many homes have all of the latest in technological gadgetry, yet have not managed to insure the contents of their home against the event of either a robbery or damage.
Note from where you purchased each item and its make and model, if pertinent. Take footage of and / or videotape the things, too. If you purchased anything new in the year, say a new TV or video recorder, then the cost of this new purchase won't be included in the renewal notice you simply sent off to the insurance company. A very good tip here isn't to move your possession into one room and then itemise them, but to go from room to room doing this. You can then keep a copy of the video with the inventory. It is also really useful to know if the Credit card you used to buy an item includes any sort of automated guaranty against damage or loss.
