If you can lift my safe out of the house, then you can have it!
It took a small crane and four men to put it in.
Don't go with the cheap ones. Get a TDR safe (torch and drill resistant). Cheaper ones are just plate steel. On a TDR safe the door alone can weight 200-300kg!
One other con for a home safe.
I have a fire safe for important documents which I found out during a flash flood is not air tight. Every piece of paper was ruined through water damage.
How does a fireproof safe not have water proofing capabilities?? I'd go and try to burn the damn thing... if water can seep in, I'm sure heat could too probably damaging electronic equipment like hard drives and maybe even igniting paper??
Im not interested in anything illegal like that.
Basically I was after a way of holding some valuables and the only people who know are those I told. Nothing sinister about that, just another form of risk management (IMO) should the S#### hit the fan.
But as already mentioned, should the sh## one day hit the fan, depending on the severity - the government may forbid you from even opening said safety deposit box, without a person of government authority overseeing the contents.
No one really gets to avoid any major catastrophe, it's why governments forbid hoarding when a disaster hits
The company who runs 11 Bridge St has no links to banks as far as I can tell.
A small safe deposit box costs $250 a year or $2500 upfront for a 35 year lease. .
you can always get someone else to empty the contents for you...
um the problem with a safe at home IS ...... takes one fella with a shotty to ask you to open it for them
How much did that safe cost you? I'm guessing far more than 20 years lease on a safety dep box... And what could you possibly have at home that would require such a big safe? you storing bullion and diamonds at home? or just want to keep those family photos safe?:
Also on the previous post... whats stopping someone with a gun asking you politely to open the safe??

It cost me $4000+. Sure it more then a safe deposit box but i bet the safe deposit box isn't 150cm high, so in terms of size it's better value.
What i have in there? I collect coins and notes and my uncut notes are big, height wise, and it would never fit in a safe deposit box.
Nothing, but what's stopping the safe deposit box company running away with your money or some guy working there break into your box one night and steal you your dough. Each of those scenarios has happened, including the one you mentioned to me but you can't live your life worrying about the unknown. You can only do so much to prepare yourself
That's a beaut, could fit at least 2 bodies in there
So even in some sort of **** hitting the fan situation, or marriage break-up someone can find out very easily through FOI that you have one. Not necessarily what you have.
Are you sure about that?
Doesn't FOI only work with government bodies and their documents, not private firms.
Wouldn't a company breach the Privacy Act if they released your info without your permission?
