Anti Theft- How do you protect your collection?

I know man, he's not reading what people wrote. He turns every subject sour.

You say to post photos of collection for insurance

I said no such thing.

Insurance.

A plastic case isn't gonna stop anyone. In fact, it'll just make it easier to haul a bunch of stuff at once. Or just smash open with a hammer.

If they want your stuff, they'll get it, no matter what.

Now I am 100% convinced that Einhander is mentaly retarded.

I think he's just young; like under the age of 7.

If you google his email address you'll see that unfortunately that's not the case.

I try not to say anything but you guys have said enough. So no comments from me

Einhander: I don't see in that last post where did someone talk about posting photo of collection for insurance, again in that Las post you made.

Other thing is that no body mention that it would be safe if you upload photos of your games to a site, is not magic.... What someone try to mention was that if you keep photos in a site you can have a record of what you have in case someone burglaries you home, as an "insurance" to recover them again (as someone did with a store, when the burgler tried to sell them to that store they had photos of the games) or buy them again. Is just like a record of what you have

Pretty sure that clarifies what I meant in that post.

I'm going by what YOU guys wrote! I'm not making ANY claims

[palmer6strings]

Nobody said you get insurance from posting pictures on the fucking internet...

Who votes that we block this dude?

+1

[amiga1200]

i dunno?!
got the 'vote' treatment at two places, for the same persona/traits i have anywhere on the web.
even moderated places, and could never bring myself to ban, unless actual site/soft/hardware damage has occurred.
...
reverse ban, just chasten the fuck outta whoever grinds your gears, they'll end up calming down, or leaving/self-destructing.
drive em batshit-crazy back, it's only text.
...
i haven't been here long, but one (objective) community is like another, just gotta accept there's weird out there, i'm one such weirdo...that's left a trail of DEVASTATION....in their opinion.

I got burgled about 3 years ago. They took my PS3, Wii, DS, and PSP. They left the stack of Everdrive products that was worth more than all of those put together. They left the $1000 stack of SNES rpgs. They ignored the Neo Geo games.

If you're a retro fan like me, burglars don't care about your collection. They care about what they can fence quickly. All in all, they cost me MAYBE $1000 and if they knew what they were looking at could have cost me ten times that in the same volumetric space.

So basically... I don't worry too much. If I ever took a real serious hit? I'd probably just take it as a sign that I should move on and go into a new hobby.

  ^^ pretty optimistic on the 'new hobby' bit, not so sure i be as resigned, or accepting, though it makes sense if you're capable. 
not many 'retro' heads where i'm at either, but it's sorta a roach motel kinda deal.
if a dwelling is successfully cased and robbed, the fixtures and fittings tend to follow, absolutely anything that isn't a brick itself is fair game...
and usually is the rule.
rare is the exception of a 'partial' smash n grab in my area, and i know from experience what it's like to come back to a shell, and having to start from scratch.
i bet a good chunk of this very userbase have done exactly that too, restarted from scratch...for whatever reason totally out of their control. 
i plan on NOT getting turned over again, whatever it takes...

Having games in UGCs likely helps. They take up about 3-4 times as much space as loose carts, so hauling a bunch away would be a bitch.

it's definitely optimistic, but really... Emulation is damn good these days. Near perfect for most pre-N64 systems (which is my bread and butter). So if I lost it all, I'd be sad, but at the same time... I could still play all/most of the games, just wouldn't have the hunks of plastic, so I think I'd survive.

Mostly though just hoping not to have to deal with it again.
