What is your single most prized material possession?

Everyone probably has something really significant and really meaningful to him/her, aside from family and friends and pets. This item is so important to you that if your home was burning, this would be the first material possession you would take out and save. It could be a coin collection passed down from generations, or it could be Jenna's the newly downloaded pr0n you finished bit torrenting 35 minutes ago.

Mine would have to be my Washburn DK20CET Guitar. It's hardly the best or even my favorite guitar, but it's the best that I own. Plus, sometimes I just feel more comfortable with it sitting on my leg while I cruise the forums here.

My laptop, I know this for a fact because the fire alarm was going off yesterday morning and the first thing I did (after putting my wallet/keys/etc in my pocket) was stick my laptop in my backpack and go out the door. I've got EVERYTHING on this machine, and as far as stuff to pluck from a burning dorm, it ranks #1 for me.

My 200 gallon Oceanic and it weighs a lot so I cant save it..

edit: no pets?

My eyeballs and my junk then, I would really miss them if they went away.

My Fender Strat. It's Mexican so the value is cut in half, but just something about it that puts it on my number 1 item to grab.

Actually, I can't think of anything that I would grab that cannot be replaced.

My car - it's complete freedom, a way to get away from everyone else and everything else going on, it's an ultimate peace
Audio equipment - music, do I really need to say anything else?

If I had to pick between them, it would probably be my car because music is enjoyable when I'm driving too.

I'd probably swiftly pull out my rack of hard drives out of my pc. It's only one thumbscrew, and a few cables to yank out.

Since pets don't count, and considering my car is an an unattached garage, I'd probably grab my backup external hard drive. I have all my cds and what not on it, and some of it would be pretty hard to replace.

My guns probably, some are really difficult or impossible to replace.

All my other important stuff is the firesafe.

Probably not my prized material possession but I'd probably grab 110 year old or so, Colonial dinnerware that my great grand parents bought when they came to the US.

The only thing I have that isn't replaceable is a Colt 1911 from my Mom's side of the family. It's either my great uncle's from WWII or his father's from WWI. It was made in 1913 and is in great condition.
