I have a box at home with passports, papers that may be needed occasionally, etc. But, the entire box can be stolen so it is less secure than a bank vault. Not a good place if you have say, five pounds of gold to hide. Assess your needs and decide. Also they are fire resistant, not fireproof. During my time doing fire investigations (albeit in the late 70s/early 80s) there were a few times where we opened up a rather pristine looking safe to find ash because the fire was hot enough and long enough to heat the inside of the safe too much. Agree, but often it is hard to convince someone to shop on value not price. A cheap safe is one step above a cardboard box. |
