Since we decided to revive the safe topic - how are folks protecting their special documents? I used to keep my LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE in a safe deposit box but considering a home safe.
One concern is I rent so can’t bolt it down so presumably the thief could steal it and crack it at their leisure.
OTOH extra proof may be good since ICe apparently arrested a marine with his passport on him
Anyways let’s make this the de facto home (alone style optional) Security thread
I use one of those home safes that you technically can’t bolt down. It’s just big enough to fit documents and a few other items (cards, photos from over 50 years ago that truly cannot be replaced). About the size of a large cooler, if you know what I mean by that. It weighs 90 pounds when empty, so you can imagine how immovable it is when full of papers! Waterproof and fireproof. Sitting in the basement, keeping the docs safe. Good enough.
Mine is also a Honeywell, but it looks like the larger one shown at your link (they say 80 pounds). Mine is old enough that it looks a little different, but I think that’s the current equivalent. So, yeah, the one you’ve picked out seems like a good option!
Dr. Groeteschele : Who would survive? That’s an interesting question. I would predict . . . convicts and file clerks. [A male guest laughs.] The worst convicts. Those deep down in solitary confinement. And the most ordinary file clerks. Probably for large insurance companies, because they would be in fire-proof rooms, protected by tons of the best insulator in the world: paper. And imagine what will happen. The small group of vicious criminals will fight the army of file clerks for the remaining means of life. The convicts will know violence, but the file clerks will know organization. Who do think’ll win? [There is a long pause, and then he laughs.] It’s all hypotheses of course, but fun to play around with.
Not much is known about Fonzie’s family. He says in an episode that his father left when he was 4 years old. He also mentioned that when his father left, he was given a strong box but no key. Fonzie ran over the strong box on his tricycle before finally breaking the lock. Inside was the key for the strong box.
How do we know that Rob didn’t open it in June 2016, releasing Brexit, Trump and other far right horrors into the world, then stayed silent in the hope we would all forget? When we wouldn’t let it go he had to fake the safe being opened.
