TUPELO, Miss. (WCBI) – Every Christmas seems to bring new “Grinches” who want to profit from someone else’s Christmas gifts.  New Tv’s , laptops and diamonds will make their way under Christmas trees over the next day or so. Unfortunately there are people who think your stuff should really be their stuff and will steal it. Officers say if you take the time now to make records of your new treasures i, life will be a lot easier if you are unfortunate enough to be a victim

“Make sure you take an inventory of what all that you have there. If you can take a picture with your cell phone and serial numbers and description an things in case it is stolen then we will have a better idea of kind of what to look for.”

Another reminder is to check your insurance policies to make sure a standard homeowners policy will cover the replacement of some of higher value gifts like collector firearms or jewelry.
