<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1363770, member: 13650&quot;]Home security system with a good safe bolted down somewhere is your best bet.&nbsp; Home security systems will drop your home owners insurance so there is some savings in doing it.&nbsp;&nbsp; No thief is going to hang around trying to pry into a safe with a home security system blaring.&nbsp; &nbsp; A good dog and firearms ready to go, located in various locations is also good added protection for when you&#039;re home.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Then you might say, am I worried about being taken hostage and forced to open the safe?&nbsp; Well, if somebody was breaking in to my house right now, I&#039;d have a .45LC cocked and in their face by the time they got to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I was in a different location, it would be a Glock .40.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I was in a different location, it would be a 12 ga.&nbsp; &nbsp; There&#039;s absolutely nothing in my house worth dying over.&nbsp; I would make every attempt to complete a citizen&#039;s arrest and wrap things up for the cops so they could get here in a safe manner.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; That&#039;s the risk thieves take if they randomly choose to rob homes.&nbsp; Never know what you might be walking into.&nbsp;&nbsp; Never know when the fun ends.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The hidden in plain sight method sounds novel, but it doesn&#039;t do a **** thing for you if there&#039;s a fire.&nbsp; And you&#039;re more likely to have a fire.&nbsp; &nbsp; I can&#039;t imagine putting a $500+ coin in some dirty old thing and leaving it there.&nbsp; Then if you die in an accident today and people eventually come to clear out your stuff, half of it gets donated to Good Will and the other half thrown out with your valuables still in them.&nbsp; Might be a good temporary idea.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think it&#039;s a good long term plan.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; SDB is a good idea if you&#039;re not worried about the bank &quot;accidentally&quot; confiscating the box because they weren&#039;t able to get a hold of your or over a paperwork error.&nbsp; Have heard horror stories.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, if you don&#039;t mind paying them $100+ a year for the service.&nbsp; Over 20 years that&#039;s 2 grand out of your pocket and 20 years of risk in somebody else&#039;s hands.&nbsp;&nbsp; You may as well spend the 2 grand on a good safe right now and keep them at home if you can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
