New Year Tip from the MPD: Take a Holiday Inventory Now

Here's a bit of advice from the Metropolitan Police Department that you'll be glad you followed in the event your home is ever burglarized:

The holidays are a good time to update --or create-- your home inventory. Take photos or make videos of items, and list descriptions and serial numbers. If your home is burglarized, having a detailed inventory can help identify stolen items and make insurance claims easier to file.

Make sure things like TVs, DVRs, stereo equipment, cameras, camcorders, sports equipment, jewelry, silver, computers, home office equipment, and power tools are on the list. Remember to check it twice!
