LOL - I guess until you get a whole shelf of used litter boxes, that would work great.

we use a small fire-proof safe for our important documents, and I keep old notes and gold coins in there. it's primarily for fire safety rather than theft prevention. since we live in an apartment we can't exactly install a floor safe. I keep my coin collection in coin boxes in the linen closet and sets I'm working on are in folders on my bookshelf. for long term safe storage I would use a bank safe deposit box, but since I'm constantly accessing and going through my coins, I leave them as they are. if you want to lock them away and wont need easy immediate access to them, I would suggest a bank safe deposit box or a professionally installed floor safe. wall safes can be much more easily stolen than those permanently anchored to the foundation of your home. nothing will be 100% safe, but 99.9% is pretty good.

1. Safe deposit box in a bank.
2. If you live in a house, a fake wall with shelves behind it.
3. A fake toilet in a bathroom.
4. A real safe anywhere in the place. Best location is in front of a door. If they can't open the door, all is safe.
