If your house was on fire, but your family was out safely, what one material possession would you try to save on your way out?

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I think that as long as my family was safe I'd try to save my computer tower.

I'm still what you could call starting put in life. Only had my own apartment for a little while. So I don't have much in the way of cherished possessions that I keep at my place. Those are mostly at my parent's house for a lack of room to store stuff. Can I say what I wouldn't save? Probably any steak I had in the fridge in hopes it would be cooked right. Every damn time I go to a restaurant and get steak medium well it is undercooked and I don't like it that way. I'd wait until they put things out and get my sirloin, cooked perfectly.

Ahhahaaa…when you go to a real steak house…they only do steak one way. The way the chef cook it…medium rare. Or blue.
Real steak chef will never cook steak medium well.

So I just need an apartment fire then. Sounds horrible for the other tenants...

[midnightmoon05]

What do you mean?

My cat has to be safe too, but then a box I keep in my closet that has random sentimental things - my grandparent's wedding rings, fancy barrettes from my grandpa from when I was four or so - other things that are similar in nature plus a stack of old photos. 🙂

Yeah, I wouldn't just grab one thing... If I'm going back in there, I'm grabbing all of my most expensive items. My computer, my quest, both my amps, my xbox, all my headphones, my 88key piano, & my speakers. Legit over $3k worth of items. Hardest to move would be the 88key though.

My late father's accordion.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

Interesting answer!

I have a plastic tub with pictues of my family and other irreplaceable artifacts. I would grab that. All my computer files are backed up to an external drive.

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I'm in the opposite camp. All our pictures of the kids are on our phones or saved digitally. My pc isn't backed up anywhere. I dont really have anything super important on it, it was just really expensive lol

[exitseven]

Oddly enough I just use a two yesr old laptop these days

[MementoMori777]

My PC I can make quite a check off that if I'm homeless

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

I'd hope you have homeowners insurance so you wouldn't be homeless long lol

[MementoMori777]

Right insurance, that exists 🙂

[AviatorTom]

If everyone is safe (family members and our dog), and I can safely make one trip inside to grab some things, I would grab my laptop and box of old family pictures (the ones that haven't made it to the computer yet).

[SnowedIn]

We have a family Bible printed in 1853 that has been passed from father to son for the last 170 years. I'll grab that.

There aren't many things that are super important and personal but that's what most would go for is guess.
Our something super practical like a gum guard that helps you sleep, your pills for the next week, mobile phone.
It's really hard to let possessions go but if it really did go up in smoke, I wonder if I'd feel liberated.

[richardcory]

Pets? But if no pets, then maybe the computer disk - but I have offsite backups. I have a few items of personal significance to me (but no real value) that I might grab - but not worth taking a risk to do so.

[midnightmoon05]

My cell phone if I don’t already have it with me.
my credit cards and driver’s license are tucked in the side pocket of my cell phone cover.

[RoseySarah]

My stuffed animal my grandma gave me who has my special memorable pictures stuffed inside for just this happening!

[virtualwasp]

probably credit card/id. its the only thing that will be helpful

[jamesgoldman]

Everything's insured so if they are out and every photo is digitally in the cloud

I guess the book with my passwords in it

[Sparkie460]

If my family and pets were safe, I'd grab the important documents from my safe and my guns.

[Meropatrick]

My credit cards. At least it can secure for me a place to stay in right after the ordeal

[BrookeS]

If my fiancee is safe thats all that matters

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I bought a pizza this afternoon, I would save the pizza because everything else is insured.

[najekim]

Definitely our strongbox with all our important papers inside.

[legalboxers]

albums, stuffed animals (sanity bears) cash..

[Bricealan]

My companion animal

[Anonymous]

My family somehow made it out? Oh well in that case, I'm pushing my parents back into the fire..
