When you reach a certain point in collecting insuring your collection and its security becomes an important consideration.
I have my collection insured and have a security system for the house which includes all the usual detectors and sensors including stair sensors on the stairs themselves arranged like a mine field . Plus a generator for the house in case of power outages for the house but it is also hooked into the alarm system also.
One important thing is that I never tell anyone how much something is worth . That is usually the first question someone asks after seeing an item and asking where I got the item or items. They may not be a risk but they could tell somebody or have it trickle down the information chain until it reaches someone who is . For me it is a "Loose lips sink ships mentality".
I never give out too much info especially to non-collectors.
