What's up guys/gals. I have recently been contemplating a safe and whatnot for the good stuff so that I can keep everything hidden and out of sight, especially for the kiddies and such. However, after reading about safes and whatnot I am not sure that this is the best option for many reasons such as most of them are easy to break into from the sides, haul off, tip over, etc. nor do many of them have really good fire ratings unless you spend some serious money and by the time you get there you might as well look into buying a real safe. A real safe is out because the house is already built and installing it would be a major PITA. Also, most of your store bought safes IMO are like having advertisement in your home unless you somehow have them hidden away.
So, what have you guys come up with over the years. I have an idea of what I am going to do but unless I build something that is going to cover an entire wall almost, which I could do, then I will not have as much room for storing them as I would like. I really think the best option is creatively hiding them and then putting them under lock and key behind that. Only very close people, mainly family would ever know where they were at. Then on top of all of that I was thinking of getting an alarm system with video surveillance, you know a camera I could cover or turn off when I did not want the alarm company or someone else watching. Thoughts on this or any explanations of what you guys have done in the past are welcome.
