Personal
Property Inventory
If your property
was lost or damaged, would you be able to provide an inventory of
your property? Do you have serial numbers stored in a safe location?
Do you know how to reach your insurance company?
If you answered
"no" to any question above, you need a personal property
inventory. This is a simple listing of all of your electronics equipment
and personal property in your room or home. Making two copies, one
to be secured in a safe place in your room, and one to keep in a
separate, off-campus location, will assure that this list is available
should anything happen to your belongings.
Before you leave
home, be sure you know what is covered under your family's homeowners
or renters insurance.
What Should
I list?
List any property
that could be replaced through insurance:
- stereos/CD/DVD
players
- TVs
- portable
music devices
- bicycles
- computers
(and printers and peripherals)
- phone
- collectibles/valuables
- car radio/CD
player
If you have
receipts for any items, attached them to the copy of the inventory
you maintain off-campus.
Be sure to update
your inventory frequently - at least once a year.
What Else
Should I Do?
Take a picture
of your valuables. Consider approaching from different angles to
catch the front as well as areas with serial numbers. You can utilize
our engraver to engrave your drivers license number to increase
the likelihood that your item may be returned if stolen.
What Would
I do in the Case of Loss
If the loss
or damage occurred on campus, call Public Safety at x2304 (or 1-911
for emergencies). Locate your inventory list to be sure the department
has a listing of what was lost or damaged.
If you are off
campus, notify the local police department.
