A lot of people thought they could do the same thing, that's why there are deaths every time we have a big fire.

1. Make sure wife is safe first
2. Dog
3. Birth Certificate/passport/S.S. card/Important Documents and papers
4. Photo Albums
5. Laptops
*And of course the basics like wallet, keys, etc.

Id leave everything else. Thats what Property Insurance is for.

1. My birds
2. My pictures
3. My favorite clothes/shoes
4. My computer
5. Important papers/documents
6. Baby blanket

I find it kind of amusing some of the non serious answers that some of you folks posted. Guess it wouldn't hurt to remind you that some of us live in San Diego (me, I'm about 5 miles north of Miramar), and that some of us might actually have had to evacuate our homes this past few days, and that we may have lost all of our belongings (thankfully, I'm not one of those people, but one of my workmates did).

The topic spawned is an interesting one....it *should* make you think some.

 

[Lithium381]

My guitar, computer, and a few setimental items i suppose

 

My social security card, my wallet, and my car keys. Everything else can be replaced. Thank goodness for renter's insurance.

 

[Danman]

1. My Hard Drives
2. Laptop with all of my school data on it
3. DVD collection if I can get it out

Everything else can be replaced.....

I would take enough clothes to live for a week, and then grab pictures and stuff that truly couldn't be replaced like my grandfather's watch and my uncle's WW2 sidearm.

I wouldn't count on insurance to replace anything... insurance companies exist to collect premiums not pay out benefits. I've had a fire and my insurance company ended up stiffing me. The thing I missed most were the pictures.

dude nobodys afraid of your little .22

anyway i'd probably take as much computer equipment as possible, at least the hard drives. my guns, my files, and and stuff to keep me going till i get my insurance check (clothes, shoes, case of bawls)

 

[TheHeartless]

:Q i wouldn't have enought time to take everything that actually mattered to me....but if it HAD to be one thing, it would be the pictureframe that holds my favorite picture of me and an old friend, i still get upset just looking at it...but it holds a great memory that i have....

 

[Eli]

My computer, our picture albums, paintings, and a few select house plants... the ones that mean a lot.

Everything else is replacable.

.22, hahahah, shot one once, man, no way that could hurt me. i feel much safer with my rambo knife. just charge the fool with the 22 and cover my face.

anyways, how could u guys say your HD and not your whole computer?? don't you guys screw on the HD to your case?? so it would take my like 1minute to unscrew it all both sides.

no i have one of those chieftech cases, the door opens in like a split secound and all drives are in a removable drive bay. pop out the whole thing and go. if you only have 10 minutes space is probably a factor so lugging a full tower case that can easily and cheeply be replaced is kinda dumb. be years worth of valuable data and importat contatct info is well worth the 30 secounds of time and minimal size.

 

[Krueger81]

my two cats, car keys, cell phone, college degree, all the other stuff could be replaced

Why are you guys hellbent on taking your computers? Dont you guys have renters/homeowners insurance?

 

[Linflas]

10 cats, 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, 3 red eared slider turtles, and 1 ancient zebra finch. The rest of the material stuff can be replaced.

Ever heard about something called harddrive? I bet you have some information on it that you want to keep.
