If you loan a library book to a friend, make sure it's desensitized so it won't set off an alarm when the friend comes in the library with the book.
Inventory your personal valuables. If the items are later stolen, completing police and insurance reports will be much easier with an inventory. If your jurisdiction uses LeadsOnline, you can store your inventory here.
Take and save photographs of YOU and your loved ones. If you always refuse to be in a photograph and then you die, the people who love you will wish they had more photos. If those people have lots of photos of you, they'll find comfort in reviewing the photos and remembering the good times you shared. Also, mourners standing in line at the visitation will have something to watch if your family puts the photos into a video.
If you're knitting a lace scarf and find you're missing a stitch, it IS possible to unknit several rows and recover quite nicely, even if you think there's no way you'll be able to unknit in pattern.

I hope this doesn't mean any of your valuables were stolen. It's always helpful to learn a lesson in a preventative fashion.
Thankfully, I was only intimately involved in the knitting situation. All in one week, a beloved coworker died suddenly (57, left a wife and daughter), another coworker's house was robbed of valuables and items of sentimental value, and yet another coworker was rearended (though not seriously). I have started saving receipts for valuable items, but doing a photo inventory is on the plate for January, once I recover from the holidays.
All very sound advice. Thanks for all the reminders and tips. :)
