Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We have a safe, bolted into the slab. Even without that it's probably 200+ lbs. Locksmith said it takes them hours to open one by force. Plus it's fire resistant.
It would take some serious time to open the safe, or rip if from the slab and lug it to their getaway truck. I think it would be obvious that it's there but frustrating if not impossible for them to get in it. Big obstacle, slows them down, lots of noise, maybe they'll go fishing somewhere else.
Well yeahbut. You probably have a drug stash that has some legal requirements for home storage. i'm just dealing with paper. There's hidey spots all over the place - mock electric outlets, in light fixtures or appliances, wall mouldings, under sinks, in toe kicks under cabinets, AC ducts, frozen foods - i don't want a thief messing up a safe so i can't get into it! That said, we have had some losses over the years, but more from lost wallets than removal from a hidey-hole.
