What is your most prized possesion?

I don't really have a *most* prized possession. But when I was about 10 my Dad bought me a pen knife. As a kid I couldn't have asked for a more useful present. I used it for carvings, butting string, cutting wax for candle powered boats (there's still a black mark where I accidently dropped a piece of string that was on fire and didn't notice), hammering in nails (yes this works!) and so on.
I would genuinely be upset if I lost it.
It's still as sharp as ever thanks to a stone sharpening kit.

And of course, my Bonneville :D

Not very materialistic.

Nothing that I own, I wouldn't sell for an upgrade I don't think. I do try and buy the best when I can, but it's only stuff really.

Probably my MacBook Pro and/or NI Kontrol S4, yes they're easily replaceable and not that expensive but they're the 2 things I use and enjoy the most.
 
Probably a few teddies I still have from when I was a kid. (My first ever teddy and one my Nan got me when I was poorly in hospital). Apart from that I don't really have much that can't be replaced. I'd be a bit narked off if my watches got stolen / lost / damaged since they are very expensive.
 
If the house was burning down, the first thing I'd grab is my NAS. The NAS itself is replaceable but I treasure all of the photos on it.

Probably my most treasured possession is the house itself though. It would take a lot of time, effort and money to find and convert a house to our tastes again.

People are not allowed as you don't own them.

I own my wife in the sense that she is tied to me by marriage, to death do us part much like anything in life. She is bound to me and only myself in many ways.

That in my eyes is ownership. And thus my wife owns me, and god does she know it!
 
My great grand father's pocket watch and ring, the watch my parents gave me for my 30th and my grand father's watch on the other side of the family. I am pretty sentimental.
 
Nothing. I don't really ascribe to that much.

I guess if I was pushed, I would say the rosary I wear. Been with me through thick and thin, and it's prominence (under my clothes) means that I've "felt" it a couple times when I was going to do something VERY stupid. :)

In an abstract way I'd say car. Not any car in particular, just owning a car. Nothing as liberating as getting in your car and just leaving. Today alone I've driven nearly 300km and I love it. :)
 
Pretty much everything I own can be replaced aside from 2 things. My wedding ring (though I could get an almost exact replacement) and my late grandfather's old Omega flying watch, a 1953 cal. 283 'Thin Arrow'.

I know it's provenance from the day it was issued to the present and it is completely irreplacable. Luckily it is in a very safe place.
