Ok the new year is here! Make one of your resolutions to do or start a full home inventory. http://www.allstate.com/tools-and-resources/home-insurance-tools-and-resources.aspx
Here are some more ideas
1. Save all user manuals from all purchases (store outside the home) and write serial numbers on the manuals
2. Have an iphone use the Digital Locker app
3. Use the Know your Stuff website http://www.knowyourstuff.org/iii/login.html
5. Take photos of all expensive (over $1,000) and have a spread sheet of serial and model numbers
Any of the above or combination is a great start. Call with any questions. Most of all please have a copy of your inventory outside your home. When there is a claim it is your responsibility to know what is damage. If you can only recall and prove you owned 5,000 dollars in items, guess what you'll get?
