"8. Dont brag about your safe or show it to your buddies. Word spreads easily. The wrong person at a diner or work overhears you have a fancy glossy safe , you may get a visit one night. Three of the highest security grade safes ever made, the Wormald 8000, Chubb Isolator and TRTL 60x6's which need expert teams and heavy machinery to crack can still be opened quickly if the owner has a gun pointed at his head."
This is my fear.
We have the safe hidden and very few know about it at all.
We also have a smaller very heavy fire safe out in the open with insurance papers and such inside, maybe they will be happy with that.
Told my wife if anyone is threatening her just open it, nothing is worth getting killed over.
We have a very modest small home. Not much bait for a serous bad guy. We do have numerous crack heads though and they are really stupid when they got the jones on but most of them are looking for the easy steal and easy sale.
My #1 defense(hope).
Our house is also modest, 1k sq/ft ranch.
In an 8 house development everyone knows for the fancy houses in it.
Talking to people, they never even know our house is here. It's overlooked,
looking at the big houses.
Why in the world would anyone hit this place?
