John Deacon's point about a database for insurance purposes is an
excellent point that I had overlooked.

I was robbed a few years ago on New Year's Day.  While I was on the air
broadcasting classical music.  Since they could listen to the radio and
know exactly where I was, burglars robbed me of thousands of CD's.  They
even used my racks to carry them out.  The neighbors called the police.
The police then raced onto our street frightening the robbers who then
dropped several racks of CD's onto the street.  The cops then drove over
the CD's ruining hundreds of those the burglars didn't get.

I imagine these ruffians going home, drinking my beer, while enjoying the
Art of the Fugue.

I had no accurate count or itemization.  The police wouldn't even list
their value in the report.  They thought my expensive stereo gear was the
valuable stuff.  They couldn't understand why anyone would be so upset over
the classical CD's layering the street.

Now if they had been Country Western, they may have seen the value.

I learned from the insurance companies that they don't take your word for
the value of classical CD's unless you have documentation they can easily
verify.

Now if I can only get my Classicat database up to date.
