Unfortunately I to have heard many stores of pilferage by movers. For
boxes with hand tools and such in them I will just mark them "basement"
and a number. I will record the contents on my clipboard.

My preference would be to mark them 'Books' instead. 'Basement' could mean
lots of things. 'Books' on the other hand are quite unlikely to attract much
interest, as well as being heavy which matches many tools.
