Just a few hundred dollars would do.Buy business cards, bandit signs, enough for a small direct mail campaign, some nice looking clothes to make you look trustworthy if you don't have them.Cheap digital camera off of ebay/craigslist.

The "stuff" left behind is comprised of personal belongings: furniture, clothes, books, a whole closet full when we have yet to look into and the range (appliances were theirs).They did take the light fixtures - except the ugly chandelier in the dining area - so I need to go back in the daylight to make an inventory ;-)We have been making visits to the unit on a semi-regular basis: we replaced windows, fixed the toilet, changed backup batteries in the smoke detectors, etc. - so I do get the picture.

So I did and when we were building the room; Chris asked me to wash the tarps, wash the 6 cloth canvases he supposedly had, but I only found 4; he said I lost the other 2.

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

A softly lit bedroom shot with a white robe and a pointed hood strategically draped over a clothes valet, maybe a swastika armband just peeking out of a closed drawer of the dresser in the corner?

Our 14 year old son passed on the idea because he doesn't like to read and honestly would rather spend money on clothes and shoes versus saving a single cent.  

While it was clear with every turn in this 3500 square foot house, the grandeur and what a special place it once was, it was also obvious that it was not being well cared for (it was a pig sty with dirty dishes, clothes, beer cans everywhere) plus there were so many places with wood rot, shoddy work done, codes violations galore, asbestos tape around the pipes, gaping holes in the sofits etc. etc. etc.  

They provided me with dwelling coverage, and then asked if I wanted to also cover any bigger ticket items that I had in the property (clothes washer and dryer in my case). 

We are very image conscious and often buy clothes impulsively to look good.

Insurance will pay for most stuff, but we lost baby pictures, clothes, inherited jewelry, .... priceless items!
