Just trying to look out for ya man, I'm former military with retired plates on my truck sitting right outside the house. I hope you have some hidden cameras around the house, and have a lot of your coins scanned in to computer if you're gonna display them. I carry a gun on me and sleep with 3 loaded right next to me in different areas of my room, that's just my room. I'm not trying to be the negative person, just I've been around bad people as well, I used to hang out with people who would break in to people's house's, shoot up heroin, be "chillin" in a hotel room with a bunch of tweakers, one wasn't really known to the rest of them, and they beat him up and took everything from him, simply because they didn't know him. I've seen the worst in people, my car was stolen by a couple I thought were my friends.... I just would never trust people enough to display my coins, and expect them to not mention it and that info end up in the wrong hands... There are some evil darn people out there. Hope it goes well.

I put a safe in a crawl space that can only be seen when a conceled door is opened it is built in, so wall or stair case has to come out first.

Only if it is brand new... if it stinks like most hockey equipment, it can be a real theft deterrent!!

Looks like it will be a good room for photography as well...

The thing about security is most people outside numismatists think that old coins are always valuable. So it doesn't matter if those old coins you have out that people see aren't worth much monetarily, as most people will *think* you have a fortune just sitting there. It doesn't even have to be someone you know who tries to rob you, either, it could just be a side mention of a friend to someone they know that you have some cool coins, and then all bets are off.

You could live in the best neighborhood in the world. I'm betting the person who tries to take what you have does not live in it.

It does indeed!

And it's kind of funny.. we could be neighbors. The guy who built the house I currently live in did the walls in the basement the same exact way that back wall is, right down to the baseboard heater. If that had been a full wall I'd have thought you'd been in my house taking pictures
Rest in Peace

Silverdollarnuts... when I click on your links I can't see your pictures... it just defaults to: http://www.imageshack.com/ and nothing else. Do I have to be a member of Imageshack to see your pics?

All that security goes away when someone is holding a gun to your head. xshift is right it doesn't matter where you live, they can get to you. If you have any coins worth over $200 they should go into a safe deposit box.
