Safes mission Viejo is designed to withstand, resist, and retard the penetration of heat and to protect documents from destruction by fire. Such safes are constructed of metal and insulation consisting of a variety of materials such as vermiculite, cement, diatomaceous earth, sawdust, and the like. Burglar-resistant safes are specifically designed to resist the efforts of safe burglars and are constructed of steel that is resistant to forced entry by tools or torch. Burglar-resistant safes are not burglarproof, but are designed to resist attack for a certain period of time. Safes can be opened by a number of methods such as manipulation, punching, peeling, prying, ripping, chopping, drilling, burning, or by means of explosives. Manipulation is essentially a lost art that involves opening a safe by means of listening to and feeling the combination lock mechanism. Most safes today have manipulation-proof locks; the investigator should therefore assume that the suspect had knowledge of the combination if a safe in which the lock has been opened is found. The punching method involves knocking off the dial and punching the dial spindle into the safe. Newer safes have punch-proof spindles and relocking devices that automatically relock the safe when an attempt at a "punch-job" is made.

Diversify where the gold is stored. Keep some in secret places inside the home. Some people who have more than one safe in their homes. The first one is put in a place like a closet or bedroom and contains some fake jewelry and maybe a little petty cash like one-dollar bills. These safes can be picked up for about $39.00 for the smaller ones and larger combination safes for around $250.00. This first safe that would be easily found by a thief is just a substitute for the real safe kept elsewhere. This safe can contain fool's gold (pyrite) and other fake diamond rings and jewelry that would fool most amateur thieves. If in trouble and threatened to give up the goods, gladly show them to this decoy safe.

The real Safes mission Viejo would preferably be a floor safe cemented into the ground and hidden somewhere, possibly under a refrigerator. This safe should be fireproof to avoid coins and assayed bars from melting. Floor safes will range anywhere from $300 to $700 or more. One could just buy a 2,500 to 6,750 pound safe that a gang of thieves couldn't carry away. Homeowner might be able to hide this safe behind a fake wall, although the expense of doing so might not be cost-effective. It depends on how much gold and silver one is hiding. Some people even go so far as to mark out an area with a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) to secretly hide their gold in a place no one would ever look, like secluded woods or mountainous areas. They'll have to dig a little more than two feet to avoid the best metal detectors these days. Anyone using this technique might want to rent a top-of- the-line metal detector to make sure the hoard can't be detected. Also be aware of the surroundings when going to bury it.
