Before anyone starts making assumptions this man is a patriot from New England NOT to be confused with a patriots fan.
Re: safes...I worry they could increase the chance my family or I come into contact with an intruder whom has broken in so I strategically pass on that. If you have it coupled with a state of the art security system I think it makes sense.

Nope, don’t agree. The purchase of an expensive item does not make it your fault if the item is stolen and you did not also invest in expensive security measures. Now, I grant you, taking reasonable precautions is of course, prudent, I think we all probably do. I admit I have little sympathy for someone that exhibits extremely poor judgement (an example I read about is an individual that was extremely intoxicated, started bragging and showing off his Rolex in a seedy bar, and when he recovered from his inebriation discovered his Rolex missing), but insinuating that if my condo was broken in to and robbed, and my Rolex stolen, I am partially or all to blame because I did not purchase an expensive safe to put it in is ridiculous.

Instead of a safe, went with a booby trap/poison dart system, similar to the one at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Wish I'd have been able to afford the giant rolling boulder, but the market on those things has exploded.

Yawn.... and thanks everyone for letting us know you keep valuables in the most obvious of targets... a "safe".

I leave mine on the dash of my car. I figure since I don't have a safe, I might as well give the thieves what they want and maybe they will just go away.

You're right, because people shouldn't steal watches.

I imagine most people who have safes have the safe hidden and nobody knows it's there. |

I assume most of these larger floor safes that are bolted to the ground etc aren’t as inconspicuous... and in that case, it’s like a beacon in the night highlighting where the valuables are kept. |

There should be no, my watch was stolen!
Quote:
My thought is that a burglar finds a massive safe they can’t open in the basement etc and curiosity has them wanting to come back when you’re home and make you open it. Could be BS but the only safe I have is for my unmentionables and I didn’t bolt it down I would prefer they walk off with it.

Two dogs, two safes, two large baseball bats, and a tough upbringing!
Plus a badass police officer wife. And most importantly of course, insurance! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
