Just get a big safe and hide it in your house🤔

Americans! Although, even they can read …. hopefully 🤔 you really don’t want that coming back your way🫣

I would if the gynocentric UK justice system hadn't taken my house away.

Well, I assume you must be resting your head somewhere? Or have you got big pockets?🤔

I actually thought exactly the same😂…but didn’t post it. Didn’t want to appear xenophobic.

Just get a good quality safe, Google it, there are loads to choose from, price, size, make etc. plenty of places in a house to put one👍

I guess so, never really thought before about bolting stuff to infrastructure that belongs to someone else but will think again on this.

I've thought about this topic as I've grown my stash. I currently hide mine in various locations throughout my house, mainly in places that you might not look if you were ransacking someone house. As an example, putting a box with 3 or 4 sovs in the downstairs cubby bathroom cupboard. 

I've also thought about making a hole in the upstairs floorboard inside cupboards or in the corner of a room, but obviously you'd have to be careful of weight on the plasterboard. 

I haven't done any research, but another thought was to buy a climate controlled airtight storage box and put it in the loft. You'd need electricity in there, but that's easy enough. 

Not ideal, but a couple of ideas if you can't get insurance sorted.

I've often joked a top quality safe for silver is likely to cost more than the silver you can store inside it.  It's better to stack saves than silver 🤣🤣

The friendly side and not so friendly sude as I remember it!

A bank safety deposit box is the best secure option.....

Is it? Also one has to factor in storage fees. I reckon if I put my stash somewhere secure I will be paying £500 a year. Two years down the line has paid for the safe.

Ive been thinking about getting one of those big antique Milner type safes for xmas as a refurb project.  Wouldnt hide it though, would be in one of the rooms downstairs as a display piece - main sticking point is working out how to move it from collection and also from garage into house, they arent light

I reckon 200kg max is about what a couple of guys can manhandle into place using rollers etc. Last summer we had a pizza oven delivered kerbside onto gravel hell weighed over 500kg. Took around 3 weeks to get it into place using an engine hoist and a homemade trolley, never again.

That sounds horrendous - bet its an impressive pizza oven though

Makes an excellent pizza in about one minute.

Could be an excellent place to hide the stash. Unless Mr Burglar gets peckish you should be reet!

[Bogart]

Well no thief would walk off with it but the door is not very secure😊

My preference is a pack of tigers to be honest.

And a Terminator equipped with an Uzi 9 millimeter!

Uzi 9mm? WOT? Ever fired one? Couldn't hit the side of a barn if you're in it.

On the other hand, you could borrow my rifle. A good solid bit of kit, a Pattern 1853 Enfield calibre .577 (14.7mm)

I think Terminator Arnie in the gun store asking for a "Pattern 1853 Enfield calibre .577 (14.7mm)" could sound rather menacing...

I bought the beast today, early xmas prezzie from the Mrs and I think a tacit agreement or at least acceptance of the stacking habit, im going to do it up and have it in the dining room, her only condition was to put a plant on it 🤷‍♂️.  Just trying to work out if i dare stick it in the back of my motor or if im better off paying for a courier.  The seller reckons its about 200kg.

[Bogart]

Getting in in and out of what you describe as a motor might be harder than you think. A 4x4 or van yes not a saloon.

Thats a hellova lot of localised weight for a car, mate with a van or small trailer if you have a towbar. 

Looks a cracker though and will be pretty smart when done up.
