[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1177528, member: 26302"]I agree with others a sentry safe is not a great idea. When thieves come they always take safes. Those things are ok to protect documents from fire, but that is all. For security, I keep my best stuff in a SD box, but have a gun safe at home. The combination to the gun safe is in a SD box, so that if I die my wife will be able to open it. Put the gun safe on the ground floor, and bolt it into the concrete and its pretty safe. Others here are right though, most of these robberies are not strangers. Secrecy is always your best defense, especially if you live somewhere where you cannot put a gun safe in easily.
