<p>[QUOTE="JeffsRealm, post: 2525676, member: 81515"]I seen this post yesterday and haven't replied as I just haven't had the time. My only pieces of advice, yes bolt it down. However remember safe in contact with concrete will rust. Get some cheap hockey pucks. They squish down but keep the safe from resting on concrete. </p><p><br /></p><p>The main thing I was going to bring up, I agree with [USER=75637]@Speedbump[/USER] get a security system. One that is cellular. A lot of security systems you can find by searching and reading reviews now run off cellular towers. Mine runs from high speed internet and cellular. Also with battery back up. Basically the criminals coming in would need to kill off all cellular signals available. If you are in a rural area, this might go unnoticed but in more populated area, even if they are using jamming equipment. Someone is going to notice. The system I have is pretty instant, unfortunately I have set it off myself. You know system armed at night and the dog wakes you up to go out, makes for an interesting evening. They also have silent alarms, so in the example above where someone says they put a gun to the wifes head and forced them to open the safe. Again, you go enter the code, it is different than your main code. However it does unlock everything, but the code being different tells them send police now, just silently. You can even put a sensor on the door to the room or closet where the safe is. The security company can set it up to require a third and special code to disarm that one and also if that sensor is triggered that is instant alarm. </p><p><br /></p><p>So yes get a safe, but also a security system. Put the most valuable items in a Safe deposit box at the bank. Also my other bit of advice, when buying a safe, get bigger than you need. Your collection will grow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
