Depending on what kind of and how many valuables you have at home, the hope is you are taking care of them.

Knowing what You Have is Key
One of the keys in protecting your home valuables is to know what you have in the first place.
As an example, do you have an extended movie collection? If so, have you charted and organized all the movies? If not, are they in essence in a pile on your bookcase shelves or even shoved in a drawer or two somewhere?
It is important in taking care of and protecting your home valuables that you are organized. Doing so leaves less chance for problems.

One of the better ways to find out what their worth might be is using the Internet.
If you spend time online, you’d likely admit that one can find almost anything when it comes to info. As such, do some investigating when it comes to those VHS tapes you hold in your possession.
Once you log which ones have value, you are in a better position to see if you want to streamline your collection.

When you have a VHS or DVD collection at home or both do you ever talk movies at local swap meets or flea markets? Doing so can prove beneficial to you. Both types of events tend to have vendors there that sell movies and even TV shows. These can be recent releases and ones from many decades ago. As such, pick their brains to find out what you VHS and DVD collections may be worth.

Keep in mind that such coverage protects you in the event of a burglary or robbery, fire and more.
Last, you want to make sure you protect your collections so that they have minimal exposure to damage. Such protections include when you have young children at home or pets such as cats and dogs.
