·I don’t want to drag this off topic but is is a terrible feeling having items stolen. It takes so much time, money and effort to build a collection especially some of the ones I see around here. I related a story I was doing some house sitting for a friend, really I was just feeding and walking his dogs while he was away. He left two rolexes and another watch which was a gold family heirloom thing sitting out in plain sight. I scooped them up and carefully placed them in a draw under some clothing. I sent him a text of course. I was only there for 1-1.5 hours a day. I was just thinking if there was a break in those watches would be gone and I know my buddy would not be concerned it was me that took them it just made me nervous thinking about what could happen. He is very wealthy probably looks at the watches differently than I do but damn don’t make it easy for thief’s. It all worked out of course but I read some horror stories here about people having amazing collections stolen. Damn that gotta be horrible
Yes, I agree. I have heard that the only effective way to protect valuable items is to have them hidden.
This is something even the ancient Egyptian Pharoahs understood.
The only thing that would stand the test of time was hidden treasure.
No amount of fortification would provide the same protection.
Something to think about with the use of home safes, etc.
