I'm not certain children or animals count as "possessions" do they?

I don't have anything I would walk through a fire to save besides wife, children and grandchildren....but from a materialistic view I do like my car a lot:

Probably the only thing I would make an effort to grab in a fire (besides family and pets, of course) are our pictures. Everything else can be replaced.

Take one of the guns my grandfather's left me and I'm not certain of your fate. We have other things that would suck if they were lost, but I'd smash every single item I own for my wife and kids. |

Agreed that family + pet > possessions but once I had them safe I would go back in for this.

Thanks. It’s actually kind of cheap (for an upright bass) and scratched up but it’s good for a learner which is what I’m trying to do.

I can't actually think of anything. Probably my bookshelf.

I can think of 3 items I own that will never be for sale.
1. shotgun left to me by my grandfather 2. Rifle bought by my other grandfather upon his return from WWII left to me 3. my first shotgun, given to me by my dad. These will be heirlooms and I'll haunt the first person in my line who sells them. |

Kind of hard to pin down "prized possession." I have some stuff that has a great deal of personal sentimental value that wouldn't be worth much to other people - there's an orange light bulb sitting in an ashtray on one of my shelves that nobody would even notice or give two shits about, but the light bulb is from the marquee of the long-since-destroyed Kennedy Theater in my home town, and the ashtray is from my ship, which was decommissioned, used for target practice and sank in the Pacific last summer. My grandfather was a World War I veteran - I keep his burial flag in a case on the headboard of my bed. I could get another flag if something happened to it, but it wouldn't be that flag. I don't have any stuff like that that's actually worth any money. The stuff I do have that's worth money could easily be replaced.
