I just keep all my receipts together in one place and I take pictures also

I expect that members here who have been LEOs wil verify that often after a break-in the victims will report that firearms were stolen but are not able to supply a list of serial numbers. Makes it even harder for LE to recover what's been stolen.

Police to @Belt Fed :

“You want to declare your Hi-Point collection was stolen?”

Yep, sure do

“Here’s $100, it’s not worth my time to write up a report. They wont function in a crime anyway”

I have everything entered into a spreadsheet, make, model, s/n, color and a few other columns. Pictures of most.

And a footnote to the wife at the bottom:

“Sell them for what is stated on this paper, not what I told you I paid for them”

I tell my wife what they’re worth, never what I paid for them.

I can’t help but wonder if @Belt Fed keeps a thorough comprehensive list of information on his chain saws.

I have an app called GUNTRACK. Keeps a record of everything and it’s private. You can upload photos, receipts, serial numbers, ammo, everything. Good to put all that on a spreadsheet too though.

That sounds pretty neat.

Hi,

Cool idea. I have the original paperwork and receipts for my firearms in a file cabinet. I like the idea of pictures, descriptions, and serial numbers all together. I can keep a physical copy, a digital copy (encrypted?) on my computer, and backup records in secure cloud storage.

If you need a free (open source) office suite, I recommend LibreOffice.


Thank you for your Indulgence,
