Default Safes

I'll give you guys a little hint - check Craigslist for safes. And I mean "real" safes! When you guys talk about people who want in to a safe will get in... I assure you, nobody is breaking into my 1930's Mosler Bank Safe. you need to buy a big safe, and one that offers double protection (burglary proof and fire-rated). The older bank safes generally offer both.

You are right that the little "safes" you buy at Walmart and such are not much protection, and most people don't even bolt them down like they need to be. But Craigslist can be a gold mine because people end up with these antique, heavy safes and just want someone to haul them off. THAT is the hard part! You may need to hire professional safe movers, so if you live in the middle of nowhere, you may be out of luck, but in a bigger metropolitan area you should be able to find something and either haul it on a UHaul with a lift, or get lots of help!
