A clip of an article showing up in Eurozone banks. Thought you may want to read it. Check out a great source for safes at www.ValueSafes.com.
The turmoil battering banks across Europe is unlocking new opportunities for firms like the Solon security shop outside Paris, where manager Nicolas Rebaudengo said sales surged 30 percent over the past two weeks.
“Customers tell us they don’t have too much faith in the banks and they expect problems,” said Rebaudengo.
Young well-heeled executives, pensioners, middle class couples and lower income workers have all browsed his shop recently, looking at models that range in price between 500 and 2,000 euros ($680 to $2,700).
New faces have also flocked to Djamila Menna’s BS Protection shop in Paris, where business has shot up 20 per cent over the past 10 days.
“Nowadays even the man on the street is coming in to learn about safes because it’s not something that he has ever considered,” said Menna.
“He is looking for a way to protect himself.”
At Paris’ BHV department store, sales personnel say small safes are a hot item, with many customers picking up low-cost simple metal boxes with keys or padlocks.
“Many customers say they have gotten rid of their safety boxes at the bank because they don’t know what’s going to happen and they would rather protect their valuables themselves,” said Philippe, a BHV salesman.
French insurers however only provide coverage for higher grade models that start off at 500 euros.
Small safes are also popular at the AR Securite shop in Paris.
“Customers, mostly men in the 40s, 50s and 60s, buy smaller safes that can hold a maximum of 8,000 euros,” said manager Claude Simonnet, adding that the new purchases are probably to store jewellery and watches.
The story is the same across the Channel in Britain, where two banks have been nationalised this year and where the government Wednesday announced a multi-billion pound rescue package to protect others from going under.
“We’ve seen a 25 percent increase in sales over the last four to six weeks and in our opinion this is directly linked to the financial turmoil,” said Russ Reader, manager of Leigh Safes in the southeastern English county of Essex.
Some of these new clients had “expressed their concerns” about the crisis, he told AFP, saying: “Frankly, what account, what bank is safe now?”
Living in an apartment complex can have downfalls. Even those who live in apartments with secured entrances aren’t always safe from burglars.In larger complexes, it’s impossible to know all your neighbors and their visitors. Apartments allow thieves ample opportunity to gain entrance into a building. Maybe you haven’t let anyone in after you, but your neighbors probably have. Some apartment front entrances don’t even have a lock.
Making sure your own apartment and its contents are secure should be a priority. It may not seem practical to install added security features, like wall safes or alarms, into a rented apartment, but you’ll think differently after your dwelling has been ransacked, and your possessions stolen.
If limited funds won’t permit you to buy security features, the next best bet is to choose good hiding places for your valuables. Home security experts recommend hiding things in places like: the dirty clothes hamper, in a garbage can (between the bag and the can), and in food containers (like cereal boxes).
Leaving expensive items strewn about is the worst thing to do, and don’t hide anything in your underwear drawer—robbers figured that one out a long time ago.
People that haven’t had to deal with a break-in don’t understand just how traumatic the experience can be. Adding security features to homes and businesses helps reduce the amount of havoc a robber can wreak. Many, who have used safes to store their valuables, and have had their homes or businesses broken into, will tell you that in the end it was worth it to buy a safe.
Here is a good example: A Memphis man received a call from his neighbor telling him that his apartment building was on fire. The neighbor managed to grab the man’s computer from his apartment, but nothing else. The following day the residents were able to enter their apartments to salvage what was left. The man’s apartment was among the most damaged in the building. Fortunately he had two small safes, in which he had stored a valuable coin collection, negatives and important documents. The items stored in his safes were all undamaged.
So, whether you’re a grocery store owner considering purchasing some depository safes, or a home owner thinking about buying a wall safe—safes are the only sure way to keep your important items out of harms reach.
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.
When it comes to your valuable possessions, don’t just leave your stuff lying around. Put it in a place where you know there will be nothing to worry about. You don’t have to be concerned that your valuables are floating around in unsafe places around your house with a depository safe.
With a top of the line protection device, your goods are safe and sound and your headache is gone.
