If you ever wondered why you are supposed to inventory your stuff, this website has some simple answers for you.

ReportIt is a free, secure online service allowing citizens to record serial numbers and upload images for phones, electronics, and other valuables. Should those items ever be stolen, having the information will go a long way in accurately and quickly identifying your property. Citizens can access the site at reportit.leadsonline.com. -FCGov.com/police

Pretty cool, eh?

You can store an unlimited number of serial numbers, item descriptions, pictures, and scans of receipts so items may be more easily identified in the event of theft. This record may also come in handy when filing claims with insurance providers in case they are stolen, damaged or destroyed. And it’s free!
