I bought a big fire safe filing cabinet (that the lock had been cored out of) for $150 on craigslist - I bought a locking bar set on Amazon and it's in a place no one would think to look, so I love it ($1800 new) heavy as a beast though.

You can watch a site like Slickdeals with an alert for those. You may want to screw it to the floor or wall - I had one in my linen closet in a prior house that was bolted to a beam in the wall and behind the guest towels - no one knew it was there except me and the Mrs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
