Make sure you have your documents passport , birth certificate , insurance policies , medical information etc . You might scan some and upload the scans in case the originals go missing . Computer and phone Valuables of any sort jewellery and keepsakes Musical instruments if you play any and they are transportable not a piano , obviously , any works of art you made and that are dear to you , art and craft supplies . You don ' t want the Ns to destroy these in case they find out about your plans . Find an excuse , like your friend wanted to borrow your guitar or look through your drawings or something like that in case the Ns become suspicious . It ' s autumn winter now , so you can smuggle out items under your clothes , or even clothes by layering them under other clothes baggy jumpers , tunics etc . . I second getting a place where to stash things , like a storage locker , shed or garage , or even a hotel or motel room . Pretend you want to donate clothes to charity and then take them to your stashing place instead if you have one . If you have CDs or DVDs , take them out of the cases and put them into those CD wallets for better transportation . Sort through your books and place the ones you want to take together you only have to pack those . If you have a place where to stash things , take your favorite books there and rearrange the others so that there are no suspicious gaps on the shelf . Make sure you have enough bags and other containers . IKEA sells very sturdy bags that hold a lot of stuff if there ' s one near you . Think of decoy activities like pretending you want to paint your room or buy something to go in your room , or begin to rearrange the furniture . This can cover up some of your moving activities . Consider having friends present as protection when you move out . Or even the police if your Nfamily threatens you . Maybe a hired security person ?
