$200,000 value, huh? Please don't get me wrong, and I am deeply sorry to the family if this was a legitimate case, but one should always raise their eyebrows at reported thefts of such value.

Stack on safe + detached garage+ open view= guns gone. This absolutely x 100. Look,I can understand someone buying a sub $600 gun safe if your goal is to keep a low value number of firearms away from your children or perhaps you just need something for a few months or even a couple of years before you can swing spending 2k plus on a very much better gun safe. That safe belonged in the house and not the stupid garage and the value of those firearms probably exceeded 4k easily!!! Not sure how they got in it but looking at the video it almost looked as if there was a drill hole above the combination lock. There were no pry marks on the door or jamb that I could see. Shit....

Sturdy as in strong, not the company Bad choice of words, because it's not strong either. $200,000 value, huh? Please don't get me wrong, and I am deeply sorry to the family if this was a legitimate case, but one should always raise their eyebrows at reported thefts of such value. You wouldn't believe how many people do indeed keep that kind of money in their homes. |

That's not a safe, it's a large lock box. I know people who think the little brinks boxes at Walmart are "safes"

Had that battle with my own wife. She wanted it in the garage, I insisted it go in the house. I got both.

No "loophole" needed, the coverage limits are written into your policy; most of the time state laws mandates that they are in there and that the agent inform you (by giving you a booklet outlining coverage limits) of such. You enter an agreement with an insurance company and they will cover up to the agreement says they will cover. Would you expect them to cover more than they agreed to cover? |

How do you have nearly a quarter million dollars worth of valuables in your home but you can't spend a few thousand on a camera system & alarm system?

Unless the owner had a very large rider policy, a detached building is usually insured for a Total value of 10% max of your home's value. Unless he had rider,or a $2million home, he's screwed.
