STEP 1. - INVENTORY LIST - MAKING A PERMANENT RECORD
- Record the
make, model, serial number, size, color and any other identifying characteristics
of your
personal property using notebook paper, an Excel spreadsheet, computer inventory program, an
insurance company's inventory booklet, or whatever you wish. Make two copies of your final list:
keep one in a safe place in the home and a second copy outside the home (such as a safe deposit box,
a trusted family member or file at the office).
FOR YOUR RECORDS ONLY - NCW/APD DOES NOT KEEP COPIES!
STEP 2. - PHOTOGRAPHY
- Use a digital camera or a 35 mm camera that can yield a negative (preferably color) so you can make
additional photos or have a particular photo enlarged.
- DO NOT use a old ‘disc’, 110 camera, video or an instant photo camera such as a Polaroid.
- If you don't have a camera, a disposable 35mm color camera with the built-in flash is great.
- Items like art or jewelry, place a ruler or tape measure by the item for size comparison.
Place on solid colored background.
- Remember, the better the photo, the better evidence you have. Don't get too close when taking
photos of jewelry unless you have the equipment to do so.
- Print out two sets of photos; and copy digital photos to a cd, dvd or ‘jump drive’.
STEP 3 - MARKING (optional)
If you are etching your AK Driver's License Number onto property as an additional step, place your
marking near the serial number, plate or tag where it would best be noted by a property technician.
DO NOT mark on firearms, collectibles, artwork, antiques, jewelry, silverware, musical instruments etc.
