Sorry Geezer you have had to endure losses already but, seems your current ideas are pretty good.
Most have seen me post pics of my guns and I have other copies of these which have a serial number added. Those SN pics are saved to a CD, of which there are two or three copies. I also have a text file printed out which gives again - SN info but also next to that approx market value.
Over time of course odd changes occur and I try and update but - generally my last CD or text printout is only inaccurate to tune of one or two guns, so main haul is logged.
Fortunately in the house itself, to be honest we really have very little of huge value but yeah - pics of specifics are good to have tucked away of anything that has value, sentimental or otherwise.
Some long time back - I had a marker pen that I used on many things - left an invisible result but when viewed by UV light it showed up. Not sure whether I can still get similar or not.
