<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 1301843, member: 6449&quot;]I have a 30 cubic foot safe that was bolted to the concrete floor of my basement and then a locked closet was built around it. The doorway is narrower than the safe. If someone wanted to remove it, they would not only have to tear down the walls around it, but would have to jack-hammer it out of the floor. I&#039;m guessing they would not take the time to do that. And it weighs 700 pounds.&nbsp; The locked closet door keeps casual observers and people working in the house (e.g. an electrician) from finding out that it is there. </p><p><br /></p><p>Humidity is an issue. I have a dehumidifier in the room and I keep 6 2.5 lb silica gel canisters inside the safe at all times. They need to be regenerated every 1-2 weeks in the summer, but the humidify inside the safe can be kept below 40%.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have a safe deposit box that I keep bullion coins in, but like others who&#039;ve commented in this thread, I would never see my collection if I kept it there. Besides, the cost of enough safe deposit boxes to keep my entire collection would be prohibitive. The one safe deposit box I have, which is their biggest size costs about $165/year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
