How much stuff do you have that's worth stealing?

My laptop, roommate’s laptop and her TV. Maybe my jewelry if they didn’t realize it’s all cheap costume jewelry. Also my bike and my roommate’s bike. Not sure what else unless the thief loves clothes and books.

Other than the normal (TVs, Kindle, computers) I have gold jewelry, and thousands of dollars worth of it. Some of it is in the bank safety deposit box, but you’d be surprised how little 22K gold you need to get to a few hundred or a couple of thousand dollars. It’s all passed down from my mom, so I’d be very sad to lose it.

I don’t have anything you’d want to steal, well, nothing you can touch.

What does this mean? Her dogs were stolen? Did she have some rare breed?

I have a cheap desktop computer, (my work laptop is in my car unless I go wild and crazy and work on the weekends!). I have a Wal-mart LCD TV. My most valuable electrical gadget is my Bosch mixer, which lives in the pantry. I have no gaming systems. I have a blu-ray player. I have 2 german shepherds, a doberman, giant schnauzer, standard poodle and english setter. If anyone comes in through that, they’re welcome to what they find.

We have a couple of good tv’s, games systems and iPods. I have some pieces of real jewelry but I don’t know how they’d find them (in a purse in the basement tucked away).

Other than that, nothing. There are a lot of things I wouldn’t want stolen but they have little or no value, anyway.

That would be telling.

I know Shirley Maclaine is eccentric, but she did say one thing that really resonated with me, and that is that she doesn’t collect expensive artwork, etc., because she doesn’t want to get bogged down trying to secure them.

I have very little of value to anyone but me, unless you count a few thousand bucks in electronics. I put my money towards traveling, because experiences last a lifetime in my head, and no security is required.

Burglars tried to steal her dogs, but they’re fairly fierce, their kennel is padlocked and my grandpa poked his shotgun out of the window. So they gave up, wisely.

They’re just plain labradors, but very well trained as gun dogs. Apparently that makes them worth quite a bit :confused:

A lot of my relatives don’t trust banks or governments, so there is plenty to steal in portable items around our house. That’s why we have guns, dogs, and lots of locks.

You’d think so except they didn’t take my checkbook which was right next to the laptop or my passport which they found in my closet and tossed on the floor. So I changed my passwords and I’m keeping an eye on my credit report but it doesn’t seem like this thief was interested in identity theft.

I have the usual stuff. Stain-ridden threadbare mattress, bare 40-watt bulb flickering in a ceiling socket, castoff stogie stubs in a matchbox, mismatched boots with flapping soles. But I do have a mousetrap by the biggest hole in the baseboard, so with any luck I’ll be eating soon.

Anything really valuable is at the bank and I’ve gotten rid of most of that in recent years. Kind of kicking myself for not being more aggressive about selling things when prices were higher. At home though, there’s a fair amount of electronics but we know that drops in value by about half as soon as you buy it. Plus I doubt that even if I got replacement value it would cover the cost of the 30 yard dumpster I would need to dispose of all the crap I couldn’t give away.

I know the answer from when my house was burgled: a pair of binoculars. Apparently that’s it.

Macbook, iphone. Got a strange collection of small antiques, don’t look like much. I have probably the last projection TV ever sold in North America. Only likely to be stolen as part of some bizarre skills test for an aspiring yegg.

Apparently, nothing. Someone broke into my house while I was out one day. I know because the stuff on the kitchen window sill, where they/he/she broke in was on the grass outside the window and in my dining room, my china cabinet door was open.

I couldn’t find anything missing, so not sure if something (maybe the killer Siamese cat?) scared the thief/theives off before they could take anything - or they just looked around, thought, what a mess and realized that I have very little of value to anyone but me.

The only thing I have in my apartment that’s worth over $200 is the computer I’m currently using.

Besides the Rembrandt, the Lambo and my collection of Beatles penis moldings; I aint got nuttin worth stealing. Maybe my heart…hint hint.

Mostly home electronics. Mid-size HDTV, two DVD players, iPad, iPhone, laptop that’s only 6 months old. Plus a Wii and an Xbox 360.

I do have a violin that’s worth a lot, but you’d have to know something about instruments and recognize the case to identify it as being worth stealing. It has a separate insurance policy.

You’d be surprised at what some people consider worth stealing. Our old home was broken into 3 times. We had a lot of stuff stolen, and what wasn’t stolen was trashed. I had a lot of books that were deliberately watersoaked and rendered useless, for instance.

Depends what is considered valuable. I’m guessing that burglars would generally be after cash or stuff they can turn over quick to convert into cash. Replacement value in most cases would be far higher than what they’d likely get for stuff they stole from me but if someone had a bit of time to look round they could get the usual electronics (TV’s, PC’s, Laptops, Tablets, Game consoles), CD’s, DVD’s, bottles of alcohol.

No artwork, jewelry, collectibles or cash worth a damn. I do have an old coin collection but that’s probably not worth more than a couple grand max.

So really, nothing that wouldn’t be covered by insurance.
