I'm not a jewellry person so don't have anything expensive there, other than my wedding/engagement rings which are always on my finger. I have a timber lockable filing cabinet for papers, it wouldn't be that hard to break into but large to move other than with a sack truck, at any rate the papers are useless to anyone else, I have a copy of my will, kids school reports, old receipts etc, I don't keep cash at home - why would anyone need to in this electronic age? - and my really valuable documents like property titles are at the credit union. Just wondering. Re: Home safes 9Jun 26, 2008 10:41 pm Thanks for the replies all. In my view a safe combined with an alarm is the appropriate solution. Moreover it looks like a safe which can be bolted to the slab may be the way to go. Has anyone found any good web sites specialising in home safes?
Helyn - regarding what one keeps in a safe: for us its mainly jewellery. We dont own anything very special pricewise but we do have some sentimental items which we want to protect from both stealing and fire. Siatros Re: Home safes 10Aug 15, 2008 10:44 am Just dragging up an old post

I always advise customers to buy the biggest safe they have room for as the difference between the different sizes is not great (in terms of cost) and once you have somewhere secure and start to look around you will be surprised what you would wish to secure. Another consideration is what you wish to protect against ? Pure theft resistant units do not offer a great deal of fire protection. Dedicated fire protection safes offer virtually nil theft protection. As to the ones sold in Bunnings etc, would you really entrust your valuables to sometime like that ?? - really ?
