Vidco Claims, all of your possessions, complete with serial numbers and other unique identifying features, can be neatly tucked away on video tape in your safety deposit box for instant identification purposes. ‘With the staggering number of break and enters that occur every year in the Lower Mainland and the risks of fire and earthquakes ever present, simply having in- surance isn’t enough,” said An- thony Kot, A.P.K. owner. ‘*You have to do everything you can to be able to aid in the recovery of your property or to be adequately compensated for it and that means recording it while you have it.”” Kot said ‘‘one picture is worth a thousand calls to your insurance agent.” A.P.K. Video Claims records residential and business posses- sions for insurance and recovery purposes. Kot, a North Vancouver resident, said the video firm can .do the recording faster and more effectively than the average person can by using either the conven- tonal method of hand to paper or by the more upscale method of fingers to computer. In a two-hour time frame, A.P.K. records all the possessions normally found in an average two-storey house. Property ac- quired after the initial recording has been done will be added on to the original video tape free of charge.
