valuables

Items worth protecting

Valuables are possessions worth significant money—jewelry, electronics, important documents, cash.

The term appears most often in warnings and insurance contexts: Don't leave valuables in your car.

A hotel safe protects valuables.

What counts as valuable varies by context; at a beach, your phone and wallet qualify.
