[QUOTE="terky, post: 7944815, member: 114225"]The best idea in my opinion is this: If you have a garage (if in an apartment just forget this). BUT IF YOU OWN YOUR HOME? This requires a bit of work, but it's not terrible. Get a concrete cutting device of some type, lots of options. Cut out a square slightly larger than your safe or container. Lift out the piece of concrete you just cut carefully so it does not break or crack (I admit this might be a bit difficult, but if that happens, there are other solutions for a trap door). > and you want a safe or box that is sealed from humidity and any potential water intrusion. Slip in the coin box and pull your car back in. When you are going to be gone for some time simply put some junk on top nobody would want. The coins will be safe from heat and most thieves except the the really top level crooks that have a lot of time (and what thief searches a garage thoroughly)? Not many I'd say. Oh, don't spray your garage out with water, also if you live in a cold climate and bring snow and ice in with the vehicle, find a location not likely to be intruded upon by any liquid. This will work for some, not all people have all the boxes checked for success, but many will. A great solution for Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and the like.[/QUOTE]
