- cash and receipts on the acquisition of things,
- instruction manual with warranty card,
- invoices, orders, receipts, certificates,
- passbook and agreements to open accounts
- extract from the register of shareholders certified by the Registrar,
- accounting statements of profit.

The main thing - that the written document contained the information about the property and was duly executed.
