<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Good Cents, post: 3314254, member: 100720&quot;]You have a good point. It is, in fact, the silver that takes up all the space in the box (not to mention how heavy it is!). </p><p><br /></p><p>My fear of keeping silver in a home safe is the following. I live in an area that was affected by a major Hurricane 5 years ago (declared a nat&#039;l disaster, etc). Although where I live wasn&#039;t flooded, less than a mile away it was flooded badly. We lost electricity for 2.5 weeks and had a mandatory evacuation. Looters made their way around the residential neighborhood with saws and axes stealing home safes. Local law enforcement couldn&#039;t keep up and it was volunteer law enforcement unit was brought in from about 25 miles away. Thankfully I wasn&#039;t affected. For reasons I wont get into I&#039;m not moving away. I&#039;ve secured my home as best as I can, but when a neighborhood is evacuated and there is no electricity for weeks, thieves with axes and determination would likely be able to make their way in. They come with metal detectors so they can find the precious metals a person keeps at home whether it&#039;s kept in a home safe, or just stored under the floor boards. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t want to keep silver at home for that reason, but I may not have a choice at some point. Depends how much silver I hoard up on I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
