  • I'm not sure what thread to put this in so thought I'd try here.

    I should possibly buy a safe, not for anything particularly valuable but would be good to have somewhere (preferably fireproof) for documents, passports, credit cards, backup hdd, etc

    First I guess, any tips on what safe to buy? Second, the more relevant question for here, how do you stop burglars just buggering off with them? I assume the best option is to bolt them into a brick wall? If so, how do you make that look not shit?

  • An awkward space will help prevent someone running off with it, but it's more likely they'll know how to get in.

    The main thing is having it somewhere discrete. It will be heavy so you'll need to think about that.

    imo fireproof is a must. You could always buy a couple of fireproof document bags and then make some sort of hidy-hole lined with something fire resistant. But I think for the hassle and cost, you're better off just getting a proper safe.

    There are also lots of hidden container things you can get. You want to search for drug stash boxes, as that market sector has a much better range of modified household objects, than people hiding their personal valuables.
