Anyone have this experience and willing divulge advice? I keep all of my gold in a safe deposit box at my bank, but am mulling getting a formidable safe to store less valuable, but bulkier silver items. Pros/cons? Particular safe recommendations? Anyone ever have a safe that was breached?

A determined thief, given enough time, will get into anything.
Most thievery is by someone who knows you or knows that you have treasure. I use a gun safe bolted to the inside of a closet.

TL-15 bolted to floor in a secure but also hidden location. Security should have several levels. 1- don't broadcast your possession 2- Secure in a appropriate safe. 3- Find a non-obvious location for this.

I store items in both SDB and home safe. Unfortunately a true TL-15 or similar safe costs serious money. Most of the consumer safes you see around are awful. Additionally, if you insure you items some policies require rated safe.

If you have collectibles you have to worry about humidity and such but less so for just pure bullion.

The safe I'm considering is TL-15 rated. It would be installed in the garage. Not the best place, I know, but trade off is if it were placed in the house I can't see bolting it down.
