[QUOTE="benveniste, post: 2074046, member: 25547"]Some general advice. Rather than starting with a brand, start by determining the level and type of protection you need. Your coin insurer, for example, may specify a rating of TL-15 or higher. In that case, containers disguised as clocks, books, or cans of soup ain't gonna cut it. Ideally, your safe should be part of an overall security plan that balances your subjective assessment of risks and costs. There is no such thing as a one-size fits security. Remember that if you can "install" your safe by having a couple of friends bring it into your home in a pick-up truck, thieves can "uninstall" it the same way. Similarly, your safe is only as secure as you keep the combination. Finally, your own security measures, whether they include concealment, barrier devices (safes), detection devices (alarms and sensors), and/or active defense (weaponry) is your own business. Giving specifics in a public forum such as the model of safe you own or what firearms are in your home can only make you and your valuables less safe.[/QUOTE]
