OFF: insurance for CDs and/or tapes ?

[J Strobridge]

AS one possible safeguard you could put them somewhere obviously in your
house and photograph them all in situ and then use the photos as
evidence for insurance purposes if (the gods forfend!) they even got
nicked.   Not quite sure how much weight that would carry but it might
help.   The only real concern would be who you got to develop the photos.

This may be an Urban Legend by now but I did hear of someone who took
photos of his more valuable possessions - took them to a big photo chain
for processing - and a few weeks later had every single item
stolen......

But believe me - if someone nicked my Hawkwind collection I'd make damn
sure every 2nd hand record dealer within at least 100 miles of Edinburgh
knew about it and I'd be sending leaflets to each and every record sale
that was coming up in the next six months.    I might never get them
back but I'd make quite sure that he wouldn't be able to sell them in
a hurry.   Conceivably, of course, he'd then have to start playing them
on his own equipment - if only to make some use of them - so it might be
some small consolation if another Hawkfan convert was made  8-)
