    No comments that could be considered contemptuous, or prejudicial to a trial in progress please, or the thread will be closed.

    Wonder if any of the silver will make its way to the police auction.

    So the son allegedley stole $2.19 Million but told his Dad he only got $300,000...no honour amongst theives ;)

    I thought their sites with firearms safes were advertised as having someone on site 24 hours!?

    A five carat diamond stored at Kennards, :rolleyes: seams a bit daft to go a cheap form of storage for such high end products. Just not sure I'd trust a storage facility with my diamonds whos slogan is 'Kenards makes your job easy'. :p
    Makes you wonder though where do you put your valubles when you can't turst the system? Maybe I need to buy a boat. It would only need to be a very small boat. :D

    I believe most if not all of the bullion was identified to its owners.

    PERSONALLY for me this comes down to the old Stacking Axiom: If you don't hold it, you don't own it!
    I know it's not always possible or even wise to store all of your Bullion at home BUT to store it in a general "Storage Locker" at a place like that with (LIKELY) inadequate security &/or insurance is just asking for trouble!
    THERE ARE BETTER WAYS/PLACES!

    I think the error was that it was an area designated such that people would be inclined to store those sort of valuables - versus the kids bikes and the old settee you'll get covered one day. A burglar would be spending a lot of time for little reward going through cardboard boxes in your average facility, but something labelled 'Deposit Box area' would attract attention.

    I am currently privileged to have the use of my dear Grandmothers Safety Deposit Box FREE OF CHARGE (& I think she only pays a paltry sum coz she's been with the bank for so many years) to store the "Excess" Bullion I have that I know I won't need "On hand" immediately.
    Can anyone tell me how much a BANK safety deposit box would cost?

    You're SO KIND! ;)
    Seriously though, if you're going to Stack Bullion, it's WELL worth buying a decent quality (non-digital) Safe. Something big & heavy enough that it takes 2 VERY strong people to move it when it's empty...leather alone when full!
    AND HIDE THE SAFE.....also, have it bolted to the wall or floor from the inside.
    A safe like that will EASILY take 50kg of Silver Bullion.
    *WHETHER OR NOT TO SPECIFY ITS EXISTENCE/CONTENTS ON YOUR CONTENTS INSURANCE IS A DEBATABLE (& OFTEN COSTLY) ISSUE*

    I like watching storage wars and the other storage shows sometimes and would not use those kind of areas/storage anyway.

    Logitech have a sale at the moment on security cameras, you use your power points as the network if you add more cameras, up to 6, you could then get anyone in your house on video and get it sent to your phone.

    I dont work far from home and i think it would take them longer to find it than me to get home.

    249$ extra cameras 199, i would go for the other night vision ones probably.

    So many reasons not to have a safe at home. 50kg of bullion is actually quite small by volume.
