    Picture and serial number recording of firearms

    Just wondering If anyone out there keeps records of there firearms for theft or insurance purposes. I recently heard of some stolen firearms being found by a shop that had to fit new bolts and due to the owner giving pictures and serial numbers to the police the guns were found. I recently recorded all mine. Paranoia or warranted after all the recent firearm thefts?

    There is a site run by the police where you can record numbers and photos.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Very interesting,as it's a general goods site it could have some worth.
    I have my own (and as overseas a employers insurances) records so am unlikely to use it myself.

    When doing the interview for my E endorsement the vettor asked if I would like to register the makes and serials of all my firearms for police records, to which I politely declined. Cloud stored photos+info sounds good for insurance purposes.

    Or the shop. Or follow vehicles with personalised license plates that scream "I shoot guns !" Oh wait, that's what happened...

    Yes to keeping photographic records of my stuff, but then some are already registered with the Police.
