BSI in the News: How to Tell When the Moving Man Is a Con Man

Blue Spruce Inventory was featured in an article on G7Finance.com informing readers about the best ways to make sure you’re protected from moving scams.

Don’t rely on a verbal agreement. You want to get pick up and delivery dates in writing, as well as an estimate of your costs. “You want documentation on everything you own. That way, should anything go missing en route to your new home, you have proof to show the authorities, the moving company management and your insurance agent,” says Scott Pantall, of Blue Spruce Inventory.

Fight Crime With a Home Inventory

SuperheroAs a police dispatcher, one of my motivations for starting Blue Spruce Inventory was to help law enforcement catch and convict burglars and thieves. I would see burglary reports that list TVs, stereos, iPods, laptops, etc., with no serial numbers. Without those serial numbers it is almost impossible for the police to charge someone with theft and recover your stolen valuables.

Earlier this week, I read a news story that confirmed my belief in the effectiveness of using home inventories to catch thieves. 7News ran a story about a burglary suspect in Eagle County that was arrested after selling his loot on Craigslist (Sheriff: Burglary Suspect Sold Property On Craigslist, http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/28451209/detail.html):

Detectives used information from by the laptop buyer and other sources to obtain a warrant to search Bruer’s home on Friday night, Mosher said.

Detectives questioned the burglar and said he admitted to the burglaries and turned over all the items he stole, Mosher said.

I don’t know what information was used to connect the laptop to it’s rightful owner in this case. In your case a home inventory can help you recover your stolen valuables and catch the crook who stole them.

Fourmile Canyon Lesson: Get a Home Inventory to Prevent Headaches

Fourmile Canyon Home

In September of 2010, the Fourmile Canyon area outside of Boulder, Colorado was devastated by wildfire. 169 homes were destroyed and millions of dollars in valuables were lost.

This may be old news to some, but for the victims of the wildfire the disappointment is ongoing. On Sunday, the Denver Post featured an article about the struggles of the Fourmile Canyon homeowners (Fourmile Canyon rebuilding slowed by claims disputes, May 29, 2011). It breaks my heart to read about these disputes over homeowners’ claims knowing that they could be avoided with a home inventory. In the article, State Farm spokeswoman Angela Thorpe encourages clients to perform a home inventory before an event like this happens.

“By them filling out that home inventory well before they ever need it, that’s going to make that claims process go a lot easier for them,” Thorpe said.

Some people may want to vilify the insurance companies for the disputes, but there is really no “bad guys” in this story. There’s only miscommunication. The best way to ensure that there is no miscommunication when filing a claim is to have a detailed inventory of all of your belongings. Don’t wait until it’s too late!
