Know What\u2019s in Your Home<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s surprising how often things like jewelry, collectibles, and family heirlooms go unaccounted for.

For that reason, it\u2019s a good idea to take a quick inventory of your house now and then, both so you\u2019ll know where to find items and also to protect you from petty theft.<\/p>\n
