"Art and other collectibles don't have serial numbers like cell phones or stereos. So keep an inventory with detailed descriptions of the items—the type of object, title, artist, date or period, materials used, measurements, inscriptions and markings, and any other distinguishing features. Also, take photos of each item in your collection—if an object is stolen a photo will help prove it belongs to you."
