[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 563050, member: 13650"]Another option to consider would be a good, large combination safe and a place to hide it, if you're seriously considering buying some stuff. This accomplishes many things. If it's hidden well, chances are it will still be there if you get robbed. If it is found but cannot be removed easily or carried easily, it will still be there. Unless they know you're going to be gone for an extended period, most thieves want to smash, grab and go. This is an extreme scenario. It would seem that the majority of the time, people need to worry about their own family members 'helping themselves' to valuables. Which, if it's locked up and only you know the combo, no worries again. Bear in mind, short of burying a vault in the wilderness, there's no way to guarantee the prevention of theft at home. You could skip it and pay for a SD box at the bank. Which is also a good option. When/if the time comes. You can also buy a large pack of rechargeable silica gel to throw in a safe to keep the humidity extremely low. Easier to control the environment in the closed space which will better protect what you have. The main thing is, you don't want to buy 20,50, 100, or 1000+ dollar coins and stick them in a shoe box under the bed or hide them in a drawer or anywhere that's easily accessible. You don't want them stored in any small box that can be picked up and walked away with by anyone. Something to consider right now, rather than once you've built a collection up. Maybe you've already taken care of that aspect.[/QUOTE]
