If there's time, I'd also take photos of any higher value items you're leaving behind. It removes the risk of being unable to prove you owned something.

- Buttons840 9y agoJust take a HD video of your whole house. Can take some still pictures too.
- astura 9y agoTake a photo of every item, not just the high value items. Those small items really add up to thousands. (unless you are a student/poor)
- lightedman 9y ago"Those small items really add up to thousands. (unless you are a student/poor)" Given the price of most college and university books, a student could likely get very rich by simply buying used and having those burn if they looked new enough and could be documented as being in the home when the fire occurred.
- astura 9y agoI'm not talking about insurance fraud? My only point was if you're a college student you probably aren't going to have the same amount and quality of items that someone more established has. If you're a college student/low income/young you are likely to have, say, 1-2 bath towels bought from the Dollar Store; if you are more established then you're likely to have a nicer towel set that costs closer to $50. Those small items ($5-$50 each) are going to add up to probably be just as much, if not more, as any one expensive item. Every small thing matters.
