Which is why I say, get a job box or a real, true safe in those discussions. Everything else is just paint and chrome


Buy a safe and people think you really have something to steal. That's not a good thing either.

True, but if you're going to do it, do it right - a true safe, add fire protection as you see fit, and bolt it in. You're never going to stop the dedicated thief, but this will give you best defense against most threats.

A $350 or $400 job box (also secured to the wall or slab) will provide the best value in basic protection and doesn't scream anything other than, "I have some tools in here."

A consumer-oriented gun "safe" screams, "All my guns are in here - steal this and crack it later."

Yep I had a break in while on vacation and my biggest fear was that the low rent thug who stole our laptop would tell somebody smarter than him about the big gun safe he had seen.
Never mind that it was actually one of those cheap metal cabinets with only a few hundred dollars worth of stuff in it.

Having your house broken into sucks, by the way. The most valuable thing they stole was our peace of mind.



Maybe the most frustrating thing is that you just know the person who did it was never even taught that it's wrong to steal and was raised to think it's ok to take things from certain people.
