It's tough being a collector and worrying about our valuables. Realizing that all our "stuff" is temporary often helps keep me grounded as far as collecting is concerned. These wise words often come to mind.
Matthew Chapter 6
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
I keep some of my items in a safe...not at all fond of having possessions lost/stolen/damaged, but I try to keep in mind that at the end of the day, it's "stuff".
