Nobody is immune from being robbed. You may as well prepare for it.</p><p><br /></p><p> So what else can you do if you want to collect over a long period of time? A good safe almost becomes an automatic need for a collector of anything valuable. With the side benefit that you can use it for many other common valuables if it's big enough. </p><p><br /></p><p> What the collection becomes over time will dictate the safe you need. The couple in this article should have had a $10k, immovable safe IMO. Even if it meant selling off part of the collection. They either didn't do any research, were nieve or just wanted to go cheap.
