In a list of valuables, one records which valuable objects are located in a residential property. Valuables are understood to mean, for example, items such as gold chains, rare coins, valuable stamps, fine antiques, artworks, paintings, sculptures, computers, televisions, watches, etc.

A professionally created list of valuables contains not only the item itself, but also the following details: manufacturer, production or serial number, date of purchase, replacement value, and special characteristics. A useful addition is a picture/photo of the item as well as the receipt or invoice document.

If a list of valuables is available, it is easier for the police to reassign stolen items after a burglary. Insurance companies can also calculate better in the event of a claim with the help of a list of valuables.
