<p>[QUOTE="claycad, post: 1163445, member: 17987"]Whenever I go anywhere its never my driving skills I'm worried about, it's other people's. With all the people who talk or text on their phones or even stupider stuff. I've passed people and seen them looking at a newspaper while driving. So yeah, I'm concerned whenever I get behind the wheel doesn't matter if I'm going 200 miles or 2 miles. Other drivers are the idiots, not me. You never know when somebody is going to rear end you or swerve into your lane because they are reading a text.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'd go with a fireproof safe. If your collection is that valuable you should have one anyway. I have a sentry safe that is theft, fire and water resistant. Its really heavy, but can be carried by myself if empty. When I moved with it, I carried it to my vehicle empty, them packed my valuables inside, then I put a 25lb weight in the bottom locked it and covered it with some blankets. Even if somebody suspected it was a safe under the blankets, Its so heavy its hard enough to carry when it is empty. So with the weight of my coins and pistols along with the extra 25lbs in it, nobody was gonna walk off with it even if they had the nerve to break into my alarmed vehicle in broad daylight. I keep the safe bolted to the floor in my apartment, so it's not going anywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>When moving it was the last thing I carried to my car and the first thing I carried into my new apartment. I bolted in to the floor in my closet right away. 200 miles isn't so far away that you could make the full trip without any stops. Depending on your gas millage you probably wouldn't have to stop for gas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
