As most equipment has a serial number, Boards, sails, masts even carbon booms. What I do is when I purchase a new piece of gear I break out the trusty digital camera and take a photo of the serial number etc.
I then upload this on my P.C where I have a collection. Burn a CD with the pics and leave it at work or somewhere safe.

When your bored at work you can make a collage of all your toys

If the worst occurs you have all the details.

Also good for other valuables and simplifies making an insurance claim.

It's funny, but I had assumed every body had been doing this anyway.
I take picks of all may equipment - first an overal picture of it then a macro of the serial No.. I don't just limit it to W/S equipment either, I do it fo all our belongings, bikes, TV's, HiFi componets etc everything well almost havent taken a picture of my camera yet hehe...

Thanks Kremlin
Taking a picture of the serial No' could still be a little tricky - but with enough mirrors could probably do someting. Maybe you have some spy cameras from the local KGB disposal store I could borrow?
