Howdy all, we will be closing in our house in next month and, as it turns out, basements are quite rare here. I have no good [obvious] room where a vault door is viable option.

with that in mind, how do y’all secure large amounts of ammo, knives, magazines, body armor etc that amount to many thousands of dollars from potential theft?
 
Hoping to not have to buy another safe. I use them for my guns but no room for much else. Again with no basement, weight becomes a bit of a concern I would imagine.
 
Nobody is stealing ammo, knives, magazine or body armor. You think that stuff’s valuable but the random burglar will not. Of course you could put some of it in a cheap decoy safe in the master bedroom closet. Put the real safe in the baby’s room closet.

Secured gun safe, hidy spots, insurance.

Insurance is interesting. Never thought about claiming that stuff if ever needed. Optics could be replaced easily, but ammo would be difficult these days!

Real safes will be bolted to studs. 3rd floor. An opportunistic burglar would most certainly realize that would be a miserable Charlie uniform November tango. Wife would prob slit my throat if I put in baby’s room, plus all the actual baby stuff that’s in there.

why do you say thieves wouldn’t find it valuable? Ammo maybe I could see weight, but I have so much of it in ammo cans so it would be efficient on their part.

I’m thinking a solid foot locker or two that can’t just be kicked open, but weighing 400lbs (filled) may suffice.

Great thread, follow up questions:
What are your codes to the safes and your home address. You know, just for fun








But, like most - gun safe.

why would I give you codes and an address?
 
A small safe, not bolted to the floor, wiped clean of fingerprints, labeled CASH SAFE, packed full of explosives, with a cell phone trigger that requires a PIN for detonation.

Would be fun anyway.

That would sure be more entertaining than confetti filled amazon package videos.
 
well, as Brian K posted, we do have a Decoy Safe.
probably weighs 75 lbs with some books in it.
 
Top of the line security system and then make it next to impossible to get the safe out (weights about 1000 pounds) before the police can get there. They would have to move furniture (dressers and king size bed). Then get it out of the house and down a few steps. Police response time in my neighborhood is around 8-10 minutes. It took professional safe movers about 90 minutes to get the safe in empty.

Look into a job box for ammo and gear. Load it down and it's not going anywhere without some pro burglars and a pallet jack or equipment.

just looked into job box. This is exactly what I’m looking for. Doesn’t add much weight in its own (already have 2 safes), but after filled will be an anchor and seems sufficiently durable for passive criminal not looking to stay long or make much noise.

this will not protect guns, but optics, other accessories knives ammo etc.

It looking like a “job box” is the way to go for my situation.

You ever seen video of organized guys stealing an atm? Doors are irrelevant. 60 seconds and gone.
