The thing that troubles me about having a safe is that if someone
broke in and found a safe they'd presumably figure that you've got
something really valuable in there - and maybe damage your home worse
than they might otherwise have done if they did a quick recce to find
something to nick.

I've often thought about a fire safe for backups of my software, but
for the above reason have avoided the idea.


A friend who spent the last few years installing alarms agrees with this,
in
his house is a fireproof safe for keeping important docs/backups etc, with
the keys kept in it, so anyone breaking in could see that the contents are
worthless (to them)

I wonder if the keys are fireproof.... if he left it locked and the keys
melted, there might be an interesting problem getting it open again...
