Value Safes

One of the most common questions I hear is “Should I bolt down my safe?”, my immediate response is always yes.  It doesn’t matter where you live - if you are going to store something in your safe that you consider valuable - do it!  A safe is really just there to by time - if the safe can be carried out of your home how much time is it really going to by you? None!

You can go to your local hardware store and get the bolts needed to bolt it down - such as a red headed toggle bolt.  Don’t bolt your safe down with a short bolt that won’t go down into the concrete very far- this makes it far to easy to pick up and walk off with.   If you use some common sense with the purchase of your safe - you will be set.

I realize that there are times when a theft will happen even if the safe is bolted down.  If this is the case - you have done everything you could to prevent the safe from going missing.  Although unfortunate, you can at least tell yourself you did everything you could to prevent it from happening.

This article”15,000 reward offered in memorial-area armed robberies” is a great example.  The safe was not bolted down and was wheeled down the stairs with a dolly.  While they were in the home for an hour stealing items - it might have provided a better chance of the safe staying in the home had it been bolted down.

My great grandfather’s pocket watch is one of the few family heirlooms that we as a unit cherish.  We want to keep this watch for a long long time.  In fact, some who have seen the watch wonder why it isn’t in a museum somewhere marking the history of a past generation. 

But I think the best way it is going to be appreciated is in our home.  We bought a security safe specifically for the watch and I think it was a wise investment.

While I’m on the idea of security.  You will often hear me discuss “layers of security”.  Safes are always your final layer of security.  But don’t forget about the other layers. Such as Personal Security Products from www.AmericanSecurityWarehouse.com.  They carry a huge assortment of Stun Guns, Tasers, StunMaster Stun Guns, Mace, Pepper Spray, Personal Alarms, Diversion Safes, Spy & Surveillance, and a lot of other really great stuff such as Voice Changers and Telephone Recorders.

To really dig into the “Layer” called “personal security protection.”  Check out the blog www.ScreamforSecurity.com.  Its new so its not filled with a bunch of rambling idiots talking about human growth hormones or some other junk.  Its just personal security. Don’t forget to check back here for information on security cameras and systems. 

But before I stop let me give you pause to think about Stun Guns and Tasers.  They really are a very important feature in personal weapons.  It levels the playing field when it comes to size and strength.  Its also the most humane way to deal with an attacker.  Yes, an attacker!  It happens all across this country of ours.  Every day someone is molested, robbed, rapped, and the list goes on!  Very sad and very real threats. 

Often after a home owner or shop keeper shoots a robber and kills him with a gun.  You don’t have the TV cameras rolling.  Just the police and morgue to clean up the mess.  Its not until weeks later that the guilt sets in.  Like a dark cloud that follows the person just trying to protect their property.  Yes, he was in the right in killing the attacker.  It was him or his family that may have been dead if the guy was not shot.  But like most of us, we have never felt the feelings that come afterwards.  And its most of us are willing to do whatever is nessesary to protect our families and life.  Don’t get caught in this downward spiral of death.

Now you don’t have too.  Get a stun gun.  They are very affordable and easy to use.  American Security Warehouse even has free shipping available.  Keep one in your purse, glove compartment, boat, and even your SAFE!
