Who Needs A Safe?

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?

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.
