If you don't, you may find your house broken into with your own tools. When burglars enter a house, 'the main items they are looking for are those that are easy to carry and easy to _ sell, Therefore, you should keep a list of such iter..c as radios, television sets, small appliances, cameras, tape recorders and hi-fi sets. The list, with serial numbers where possible, can help the police to trace criminals and will 'make it easy for you when putting in a claim to your insurance company. Wher insurancemen ad- vise people to make a list of their possessions, often the policyholder replies that he knows what he owns and doesn't need one. If you believe this, then try this simple test: sit in the kitchen and try to write down all of your possessions in the living room. You'll miss a number of items. Think how difficult it would be to supply a list once the items were stolen. - panded capital grants, re- his farm organization now . has just over 11,000 mem- bers, There were 7,500 members in June, 1971.
