<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7574607, member: 105098&quot;][USER=5372]@charley[/USER] ,&nbsp; all sound reasoning to be sure and while not mainstream, it is for sure psychologically normal. I&#039;m a private person also, to a fault, maybe a recluse or antisocial, or introverted,,,, maybe edging towards misanthrope.... a hermit that&#039;s just missing his cave on the mountain or out in the deep woods, but that&#039;s how I like it. People don&#039;t know much about me, even my relatives that I see a couple times a year. This forum is the peak of my socializing LOL. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the most part, with insurance for valuable collectibles, you have to comply with the policy terms of keeping it secure, whatever level that may be, in some cases, this may lower the insurance rate, or it may disqualify you from a claim, let&#039;s say if you insured a picasso, and mount it on the wall of the garage and leave the door open. </p><p><br /></p><p>for most collectors, an alarm system is all it really takes to qualify for coverage or a discount for the coverage. It&#039;s 2021, I think just about everyone has an alarm on their house and car at this point and if you don&#039;t likely you really don&#039;t worry at all about someone stealing from you and probably leave doors and windows unlocked also. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wouldn&#039;t say a safe makes me more comfortable or less comfortable, but I did come to the conclusion through observations, most people get things stolen from them by people they know, whether it be a friend or a family member and an alarm wouldn&#039;t really cut the mustard alone, because in the end, I really don&#039;t want to lose my collection (not that it&#039;s extremely valuable even)&nbsp; and even the insurance money doesn&#039;t make up for that as a &quot;replacement&quot;, so deterrents I think are in order, not for me psychologically, but for them, someone that might decide one day &quot;ill never notice something missing&quot; as the pilfering continues to a point that I do say &quot;where&#039;s xxxxxx item? I know it was here!&quot;&nbsp; like a kid taking a $5 or $10 from moms purse or as simple as snaking a cookie from the cookie jar.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not saying don&#039;t trust, but leaving the purse on the counter opened, is inviting temptation also and we all know if they get away once, they will keep doing it because psychologically, that&#039;s how most people operate, it&#039;s rarely a &quot;one and done&quot; unless of course they clean you out on the first shot. LOL</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;loose lips sink ships&quot;. yeah, I&#039;d agree, the less people know what you got, the less they are likely to come looking for it also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
