You've got good insurance for your valuables but do you have a good enough record of what they are to fully claim your dues if your home gets burgled or burnt down?
That, in essence, is the idea behind MyThings, a free-to-use web site that lets you keep a detailed online record of all your good stuff - whether it's consumer electronics kit, PCs and peripherals, household appliances, cars, collectibles, art work or anything else.
Where we struggle is in the doing.
Anal-retentives may already have good, if not totally secure, computerised records at home of all that they own but MyThings doesn't initially look to allow them to upload this information easily - each record has to be laboriously created by hand while online.
