  • 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?

  • Big safes are a danger, if they break in and you say you wont open they will just hurt you. Depends what you want to store in it. I know a few people that have been put off.

  • Safest place for any important document is mixed in with random piles of junk mail, letters about nothing important, and those old pay slips from 2001 that you were going to organised (since 2002). No thief, or anyone, will ever go through that stuff looking for your valuable piece of paper with all the bank codes/pins/passwords for lock boxes distributed throughout the house also disguised as piles of old bike parts and used cardboard boxes (they are good boxes, need to keep those!).
    You can also hide money and bonds this way too. Any thief who does realise there are valuables hidden between the used but good cardboard boxes and old bike parts, will go insane trying to find any meaningful amount of them.
    Also live next to a dealer, is also good security.

    Thats my security anyways.
