I have a slight advantage in that I have two houses.
My main residence is where I store most of my coins. This address never gets given out event to forum members
My secondary residence is rented to the company I work for as a staff house and there is some one there 24/7 this is the address I use for all my transactions. Even so most of my valuable coins stay in a safety deposit box in a bank vault. The slightly less valuable ones live in a converted closet in my house. I bricked in the internal walls and borrowed a steel door of one of the ships my company scrapped. A determined person could cut through the door with an acetylene torch or spend a fair amount of time with a sledge hammer on the walls. Either way they would have had their picture taken by several hidden cameras and hopefully the security system would have informed the local Police. The two occasions I forgot to disarm the security system before entering the house the local police took less than 10 mins to have a patrol car round to check on the house. There are advantages to working in a high tech industry in that I have access to hardware at little or no cost but I am still paranoid when it comes to my coins..... There are just too many people who know I collect coins and think they know where I live. The kind of person I usually get work with will probably have one or more felony's in their belt. Offshore work tends to attract the wrong kind of people especially third world country work.
