When my family goes out of town we put extra things in the safe in case someone breaks in.... One thing we put in the safe is all of the keys around the house... i.e. car keys for the vehicles at the house, etc....
What things do you stash (if you do not mind sharing)... I figured some of you have some good ideas on this that I have not thought of....

All jewelry, important papers, copies of car and house insurance, heirlooms.

I just tell the retired in country VN Marine Sgt. vet that lives at the end of my lane that I am going to be gone and when I will be coming back. Leave the keys in the trucks and don't worry about nothing

When I leave for more than a day or two, I take the guns to a buddy's house. Don't really have much else worth stealing really. The guns go because we'll have a young man house sitting and I'm just not willing to take the chance on something bad happening. I trust him with everything else, and I would really be inclined to trust him with the guns, but the law would see it differently if something silly happened. And we let him have friends over and I don't know them quite as well.

Just whatever guns are out--everything else that I worry about already lives in the safe.

Some days it takes most of the day for me to do practically nothing...

I throw momma in the safe, I don't want to come home and find somebody stole her!
she fusses about it a bit,
ain't that just like a woman,?
you show em how much you care for them and bitch, bitch, bitch
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

My safe is already full of guns no room for anything except an envelope or two. Actually most anything of value is already in there. Never thought about putting my truck keys in there (we usually use the wife's car to travel.)

Sure, put up guns that had leaning in corner between outings, put away finance stuff, etc. But actually spend more effort "staging" the house to remain looking "lived in" - few lamps on discretely in side rooms, move car in driveway, mail held, grass cut, etc.

Aside from the guns and a few heirlooms, we put the external hard drive and a bunch of CDs that have our family pictures on them. If we're not taking my wife's camera we'll put that in there as well.

I can't remember the last time I took the keys out of the car.

Nothing extra, I always have Buds passing through that stop here for a respit, always someone around the farm, I've said it before, if a thief/thieves pick my place they'll be here waiting patiently for my return. lol

Very good thread, Sako. It might spark ideas some of us never thought about. Kudos.
We keep all our vital papers and heirloom jewelry in the safe anyway. During trips I add the other car keys, the thumbdrive with my financials, and the house guns. I hadn't thought of storing the backup harddrive, but may do so next time.
