My mother has had to evacuate twice from wild fires in 30 years, living in WA state. Both times we had hours to pack. My baseball card collection is not so significant that I couldn't rebuild. Maybe I have 5 items on display I could throw into a pocket. What I am worried about is family heirlooms. My dad's watch collection, for instance. It's got a separate rider on our insurance, but he loved watches and it is sentimental to me. He has a 1950 Rolex that has been handed down. I'm the 4th owner. Maybe my wife's Mikimoto pearl necklace, right next to my watches.

After having lived through a number of wildfires in Big Sur, CA during the 1990s, I constantly worry about fire. While a home that I was living in never burned down while I was living in it, four different homes that I did live in burned down AFTER I lived in them. For many years, I kept everything of value in a large safe deposit box at the bank, but over time, I've added more larger display items to my collection, so it's no longer possible. Eventually, I moved out of a high-risk neighborhood — it's nice to live so close to nature in California, but risk just wasn't worth it anymore for me. Now I live in the flatlands of a metropolis, where I worry less about fire, and more about theft.
