[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 17207, member: 669"]The number one rule of security is "Do not publicly discuss critical details of your own security arrangements." This rule is especially important when posting in a public forum, where you have no idea who may be lurking. If I were in the business of purloining coins, I would certainly cruise the various newsgroups and forums looking for such helpful information as who is buying what, where they live, and what security arrangements they have.

Since retirment I give a friend's office address and pick the package up from him. The only people, other than my Beautiful Bride, who know the exact type, and the location, of my safe are the folks from the security company which installed it.
