“I’ve Got Nothing To Put In A Safe!”
I hear that so often and have to remind people of the consequences of the loss of so many familiar items, passport, wallet, driving license, bank books, just a few of the things that could lead to misery, or at least severe inconvenience if they were to fall into the wrong hands.
It was really heartening earlier this week to be able to work with a local ‘Elderly People’s Home’ to source a quantity of low cost but secure safes for each of their thirty residents. This represents a recognition of the right to privacy of the residents as well as a duty of care to the staff who may wrongly fall under the finger of suspicion if something were to go missing from a residents room or area.
These days safes can be purchased for very reasonable prices and used for so many different things. Parents sending children off to university after the summer might want to think about the provision of a low cost safe, which could be bolted to the floor or wall in student accommodation and provide a really effective facility to keep valuables safe from light fingered ‘acquaintances’ in what can be a hectic and sometimes chaotic lifestyle, led by students.
Elderly or vulnerable people who have careres in their homes on a regular basis are also at risk from theft or the perception of theft, in that if an item of value, money, jewelry or the like goes missing, there is often an assumption that theft has occurred, even though it may just have been temporarily misplaced. In these circumstances the ill feeling that develops can often destroy a relationship which otherwise was good.
Providing the facility to lock items away in a dedicated safe, which should be firmly bolted to the floor or wall provides peace of mind to the owner and removes temptation from anyone who may be weak willed when faced with a tempting opportunity!

Who needs a safe?
Who needs a safe? You may ask.
‘I don’t have anything to put in a safe!’ Is a mantra I often hear when talking to home owners. Are they right? Let’s think about it…
What could I possibly have that needs to be kept in a safe? Well, maybe nothing that NEEDS to be kept in a safe, things only NEED to be kept in a safe if it is a requirement of our insurance policy. However, if you were unfortunate enough to become the victim of a break-in at home and 2008/9 crime figures* suggest that domestic burglaries are up 1% on the previous year, what might it cost you to recover, in monetary and emotional terms?
*Home Office British Crime Survey 2008/9
What do thieves target and what could be the cost to you?
Jewellery, it’s often not the value to replace but the sentimental value that’s priceless. The wedding ring left by your Grandmother, may cost very little to replace through your insurance but how do you cover it’s sentimental value and your emotional loss?
Cash, how do you prove the amount taken and can you be sure your insurance company will pay out? Cash is great for the opportunist thief and they know all your hiding places. The cost may only be measurable in terms of stress, when it’s gone it’s gone!
Passports, are replaceable but at a cost to you, as much as £112 per passport, plus the worry of identity theft.
These items are only some of the things thieves may target and the cost is already mounting, both in real terms and emotional cost.
Unfortunately you can’t guarantee that you won’t be burgled but should the unthinkable happen the use of a good home safe will protect those costly and irreplaceable items, saving you money, stress and much heartache.
