My old law enforcement instincts are coming out now.. and, I would like to remind everyone to ALWAYS take the time to record the serial numbers of everything you own. You may not recover them if stolen, but, I guarantee that if you DONT record them, you will NEVER get them back. Without those numbers it is impossible to prove who they belong to. I've had personal experience with this..some creep broke into my house and stole a number of items. I was able to give the numbers to the police and, as a result, the thief was caught, I got them back, and he got 5 to 7 in the gray bar hotel. The only damage was some finger print powder on the vcr.
