It has long been advised that the safest place for your small, valuable objects is in a safe. If you don't want your precious documents and valuables to go up in smoke during a fire, or to be stolen during a home invasion, you'll need to somehow keep them protected from such threats. With home invasions happening every second of the day all over the country, burglaries represent a serious threat to your possessions.
Of course, the best way to protect your belongings is to keep burglars from entering your home in the first place. But what can you do once they are already inside? How can you keep them from stealing your roll of cash, your heirloom jewelry, and your passport? Sure, you could keep them in a safety deposit box at the bank, but this isn't always the most convenient option. Besides paying for the box, you'd also have to head to the bank every time you want you possessions.
If you decide to keep your valuables inside the home in a safe, you'll need one that will be difficult for the intruder to break into. Some safes offer little protection, and indeed may not offer any more protection than a cardboard box, especially if an experienced thief has broken into your home and found your safe. So what should you look for when buying a safe?
First of all, consider its size. Safes come in nearly every size imaginable, but you must make sure that all of your valuables will fit into it. At the same time, an overly large home safe will be difficult to hide, and it will be expensive. A small safe will be inexpensive and much easier to conceal. If you are concerned with water or fire damage, consider one that offers protection against these threats, although you should know that they are several times more expensive than a comparable safe designed for protection against burglars.
What about the lock? It is crucial that the burglar cannot get into your safe. Remember, sophisticated burglars may be able to break into your safe, no matter how good your lock is. Not all safes will keep burglars out, even if they give you peace of mind. Many homeowners find it a much better option to select a diversion safe rather than one with a complicated and sophisticated locking mechanism.
Diversion safes are one of the newest home security ideas. These safes are disguised as everyday objects, allowing you to hide your valuables in plain sight. They even come in forms that look like an ordinary wall socket that can be pulled out to reveal their contents. Your belongings will be close at hand, but no intruder will ever find them. You need not worry about a complicated lock if your belongings are stored in a disguised safe that no burglar can ever find.
You might think that diversion safes are only available in small sizes, and indeed there are many safes disguised to look like a pop can or other small household products, there are also plenty of options for safeguarding larger valuables. In fact, you can even choose to have several small diversion safes placed around the home to keep different types of valuables where it makes the most sense. Hide your jewelry in a can of hairspray in your bathroom, and your cash in a salt shaker in the kitchen. A thief will never take the time to look through your household products for a hidden safe.
