Storing your Valuables

[Cataschism]

Where do you guys store your important paperwork and keepsakes? I'm contemplating putting the originals of my important paperwork in a safety deposit box at my bank and keeping copies at home,but I was also thinking of getting a small safe. What are your opinions on this important matter?

If you get a safe, make sure it's bolted to something. No sense in having a safe, if someone can just come in and carry/wheel it away.

I know that might seem obvious, but I know people that had their houses broken into and lost stuff because their safe wasn't bolted down.

I keep mine in the Smuggling Compartments of the Millenium Falcon.


But seriously a safe would work, and yes, make sure it's bolted down.

I keep all my important documents in a saftey deposit box. Once I get into a more permanent residence (out of my apartment) I will get a safe and have that sucker bolted to the floor in my bedroom closet.

My dad always says that if you buy a safe, never send the warrenty (if included) with your address written on it. Who knows who's gonna look at it...

That makes sense. I could imagine it getting lost in the mail and someone getting their hands on it that shouldn't.

Never thought of that.

And any postal workers, I'm not taking a shot at you when I say "lost in the mail."
