Thread: Being Paranoid

I see nothing wrong with keeping such potentially harmful instruments as firearms and razors securely locked away when small hands are about. If this also keeps them safe from theft, then so much the better.

Most of the thieves will pass on a few razors in a display. The turn around is not as profitable & the market is limited mostly to online. Pawn shops will give the lowest amount they can, if they even accept them at all. The drug house down the block don't want your razors either. Photograph all your razors/valuables well, chances are good that you will see them again & make recovery a possibility.

I too have the same worries, but I display some of the things I enjoy. I'll be d&$N#$ if I will let the perceived actions of another dictate my life style to a degree that I cannot enjoy it.

Focus your concern on securing your perimeter/house to the point that a potential theft is reduced to a livable condition.

WORD ! ....

For the most part I keep mine in a safe too. I am in the process of designing and building a cabinet and hutch. The hutch will have secured doors and will display stuff that I do not use regularly. Everything that regularly gets used will still be in the safe. I am in part trying to be better organized and in part trying to display some of my more pristine stuff so it is easier to appreciate. In a tub with some silica gel in a safe is hard to appreciate.

I only have two razors plus my DE and I use them and display them like commonplace. I live in a studio apt so there's not much I can do. If I lived in a house it probably would be the same size as I don't need much space. Locked doors and windows are good for me I guess as Like Hirlau I won't let that what if element dictate my home comfort zone. If I had a collection of razors then a locked glass display case would be in order I suppose and home owners insurance would do the rest. If I had a thousand dollar razor then yes...in the wall safe.

When I was young we didn't even have a lock for the doors. The windows were up in the summer and a window fan. the care had the keys in it . now days I lock every thing and even take a pistol the bath room when i go. A lot has changed in all most 70 years.

I just leave the door slightly open, no-one gets within 30 feet...
But a couple of blanks and a pistol sound like a brilliant cure for constipation.

An average lock stops an honest person and a kid.

Where I grew up we never locked anything because you could use a chainsaw and cut through the wall and no one would have noticed.

What is the average response time for the police in your area? If it is 30 minutes the thiefs know that and they don't care about an alarm system because they are in and out in 15.

My solution to this is that my collection is in such a jumbled mess that it takes me an hour to find things and I know where they "should" be.....
