<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommybee, post: 910904, member: 24999&quot;]I have a 5.0 CF safe bolted to the floor.&nbsp; The bottom is filled with 15 boxes of nickels.&nbsp; The rest..my valuables.&nbsp; The safe weighs 800 lbs empty.&nbsp; With all my stuff, I&#039;m guessing it weighs about 1400 lbs.&nbsp; Its in a deadbolt locked closet in my basement and no one is getting it out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My only concern is a burglary turning into a robbery.&nbsp; That is, someone breaks in, sees the safe and either waits for my return, or comes back when he knows I&#039;m home.&nbsp; I have a CCW and I carry for my job.&nbsp; If I have to defend myself I will.&nbsp; If someone is in my house and threatening me, or my family, I&#039;ll use whatever force is necessary to remove that threat.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also have Broadview home security and at 100 lb German Shepard that doesn&#039;t like strangers in his house.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I&#039;m going to invest in PM I want possession of them.&nbsp; The government banned private gold ownership in 1933 during a financial crisis.&nbsp; Don&#039;t think it couldn&#039;t happen again.&nbsp; Plus, a lot of the ETF&#039;s and such don&#039;t even have the gold/silver that they just sold you.&nbsp; If there is a ban or the SHTF a bunch of pieces of paper that say you own a bunch of PM aren&#039;t worth anything.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Big thing is to diversify.&nbsp; Stocks, cash, real estate, PM, etc.&nbsp; That way you&#039;re always covered...no matter what happens.&nbsp; I&#039;m also big on not keeping all of something in one place.&nbsp; Yeah, I have a safe, but I also have other places where I&#039;ve stashed stuff.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There is risk keeping valuables at home..no doubt.&nbsp; There is also risk keeping them in a safe deposit box or to have someone &quot;store&quot; them for you.&nbsp; It all comes down to what risk you are comfortable with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
