Poll: Do you keep track of your electronics serial numbers?

nope, not at all. the total to replace all of it is way less than my deductable.
plus, most are old enough that it would be a good excuse to buy new.

I don't understand non-tech people with tech toys.

Don't you have a tablet, smart phone, cell phone, or digital camera.
When you buy a new TOY. (TV, GPS, Tablet, Car-VIN, Camera, Computer, Blu-Ray, etc)

Take a quick picture (one Minute of your time) of your shipping invoice or shipping label on
the box where the serial number is, or look on the bottom/back of your device. Put picture
of all your S/N's on a flash drive, cloud or computer and you have it. Shouldn't have to rely on
dealer, retailer, shop, police to provide you S/N's you are to lazy to keep.
You can do the same with the sales receipt.

Actually, I just had not given it any thought. But, now that I think about it, I am going to start right now!

It is foolish to purchase electronics and fail to register them and record their S/Ns. I live in the safest urbanized neighborhood anyone could possibly wish for, and I retain EVERYTHING, not just in the event of theft or loss otherwise (insurance companies want to see such data), but to obtain warranty service as needed.

I do this for all my electronics, including computer parts (I build my own) and peripherals. I also do it for cameras, appliances, anything that might break or be attractive to a burglar. It comes in handy frequently, particularly when obtaining manufacturer or vendor support.
