The "web" is not ready for that. It's not secure enough. That's why there are problems with identity theft. Hear much about identity theft news before the web was available?
If a web site were available to list valuables, there will be criminals trying to hack into the system to find where the best loot is!

I really don't buy that argument. Criminals have been stilling people's credit cards since they became available, I don't think the internet really effect that. Well, criminals have a better communication system now but that doesn't change the fact that it was happening before. Yeah, you hear about the "big" cases like the TJ Max but that wasn't because of people posting info on the 'Net. Someone hacked in their corporate network. Even if they weren't connected to the 'Net, some could have just as easily socially hacked in to the building and grabbed the info. I believe that there was a report (I will have to try and find it) that showed that most ID theft was from people dumpster diving and getting info from receipts and statements, than from hacking.
As far as the system that I'm writing ... I don't even have a place to put your address and your real name is optional. If someone was to hack into the system than try to figure out who is Bob8799 and where he/she lives, good luck. There are a lot of easier ways to make money.
