Are Your Jewelry Safe Really Safe?

One and only mistake that homeowners make as deciding a safe is getting the wrong one. You have to think more about how secure it is overall than how hard it is to get it open. There are many reasons to have a safe in your home, which include, but are not limited to, important papers, money, valuable collectibles, family heirlooms, and you can also have a jewelry safe. If you have expensive jewelry, the safe is a very good mind, but if you don’t get the right safe, you could be deprived of your precious gems rather easily.  

the lock on your Jewelry Safe

1st, it doesn’t matter how secure the lock on your Jewelry Safe may be if it it can be picked up and carried. Anyone that comes into your home that you have invited in believably won’t pick up and carry your safe out right in front you, but someone breaking in when you are not home is not going to bother with the lock on your jewelry safe. If they can lift a safe, that is one of the first things they are going to take out with them. They will use other tools to open it later. If your safe is separate and small, you really haven’t protected your items like you may think you have.

your jewelry safe in a place

Secondly, you don’t want to have your jewelry safe in a place where it can be found, especially if it is a small one that is free standing. You have to find a hiding place that is likely to be the last place someone would look. This can be hard. Some people assume hiding their jewels in a freezer is a great idea, but most thieves look in the freezer because this is so common. You have to put your jewelry safe somewhere that takes a lot to time to get to, or that is so hidden that most moving quickly through your home to rob you would never have the time or the inclination to look. You may have seen a jewelry safe in the movies that is in the wall behind something like a painting. You can buy these, but there is one problem. If they are not secured to the wall, they are going to be easy pickings. A thief that finds such a safe will have no problems with tearing up your walls to get it out. Make sure it is fitted within the walls in a way that it can not be removed without some rather extensive tools. That will keep this type of jewelry safe where it belongs. Better yet, skip this and find something more secure if you are really worried. Some people that have a lot of valuable jewelry should either get a safe so large that it can not be moved. These are quite expensive, but worth every penny as a jewelry safe. You can also see about putting a safe somewhere rather easy to find that does not contain your valuables. This can be a decoy that should not be in plain view, but easier to find. Fill it with costume jewelry and then hide your real jewelry safe somewhere else in your home where hopefully no one will find it. Someone may pick up the decoy and not look any further, thinking they have hit the jackpot.
