Valuables? Don’t Put Them At Risk

Have you ever wondered what would happen in the unfortunate event that your home was burglarized?  If you haven’t, you should.  It’s always smart to know where your valuables are at all times to ensure they’re safe and secure.  Where’s the best place to store your valuables? 

While a safe in your closet is the most common answer, that’s also what thieves will be looking for when ransacking your home.  Think outside the box when storing your valuables.

1. Hidden safes:  These are safes that are disguised as something else, such as an air vent.  No one would ever know the difference between the two!
2. Medicine cabinet style safe:  Similar to the aforementioned safe, this allows  large items to be secure.
3. Old containers:  Keep old cooking containers to store small valuables in them.  Who would think to look in a jar of sea salt for your family heirlooms?
4. Books:  You can either make your own or buy one.  Essentially, this is a book that opens up and has storage in it! Don’t judge a book by its cover.
