Alarms are a good idea, but don't get feelin too cozy. I went to my parents and forgot the code right after walking in the door. It took >20 mins. for the cops to get there. Wouldn't stop a kid with a skeleton brick on a smash and grab. (P.S. this specific co. allows one of these mishaps for free if you want to try. After that, it costs some $$$)

 

All my good advice got deleted along with another thread but it boiled down to "Don't Tell ANYONE Who Can Identify You Or Your Address About What You Have." Of course, it's hard to keep it a secret from your family. If you can keep your stuff in a bank, do so, at least the rarest items. If you simply must keep the collection at home get a worthwhile safe with at least 3" steel walls, a 2 hour fire rating and locking lugs on at least two sides of the door. Anything less is a waste of money. Gun safes are worthless. Put the safe in the back or corner of a closet so that only the front is accessible. Secure it to the wall studs and/or floor joists. Keep the combination in a bank safe box so your family can get into it if you bite the big one.

Here's a good example http://www.megasafe.com/products/family.php?FamilyID=384
