IF YOUR HOME WAS BURGLARIZED OR YOUR CAR WAS BROKEN INTO AND A THIEF MADE OFF WITH YOUR VALUABLES, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO GIVE THE POLICE A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL THE ITEMS THAT WERE TAKEN?  PERSONAL PROPERTY INVENTORIES ARE ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU REALLY MEAN TO DO BUT NEVER QUITE GET AROUND TO.  IT COULD ALSO TURN INTO ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU DESPERATELY WISH YOU’D FOUND THE TIME FOR IN THE EVENT OF A THEFT.  THE HOPKINSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ASKING THAT EVERYONE PLEASE PREPARE AND REGULARY UPDATE A PERSONAL PROPERTY INVENTORY BY LISTING EVERY ITEM OF VALUE IN YOUR HOME (AND DON’T FORGET THE GARAGE AND INSIDE YOUR VEHICLES).  WHEN LISTING THE ITEMS IN YOUR HOME, BE SURE TO INCLUDE THE SERIAL AND MODEL NUMBERS OF ALL ITEMS THAT HAVE THEM.  PHOTOGRAPHING AND/OR VIDEOTAPING YOUR VALUABLES IS ALSO RECOMMENDED.  ONCE YOU’VE COMPLETED THE INVENTORY, MAKE COPIES OF EVERYTHING AND STORE ONE SET OF THE COPIES IN A SECURE PLACE IN YOUR HOME AND STORE THE OTHER OFF THE PREMISES IN A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX OR WITH A FRIEND OR RELATIVE.
