OK, I sold my safe to fund taxes and things. I will need a new one eventually or come up with another solution.
I have a dishwasher that does not work, or I don't think it does. It hasn't been used since I was about 8 years old, and I'm 45 now. My idea is to affix a lock to it, remove all hoses etc. It seems that it's just something most thieves would overlook. I don't have but a couple of guns left now, and I can make it where they will fit. They stay out unless I'm gone anyway. It would be used just to store documents and a couple of guns and that's it. Good idea or bad? |
I washed a nasty old Garand stock in a dishwasher once. Opened the door and the new dishwasher was black with old grease and oil inside. 
Had to run about 20 cycles with laundry detergent to get it to come clean. But...... It would make a good hiding place as long as you leave a cheap decoy gun somewhere also. Even a chest freezer works for this. Just don't put big padlocks on it. Will make it obvious you are hiding something. |

There was a thread where a guy installed an actual safe inside an upright freezer. Pretty cool idea.
Searched and found this; Similar idea. Gun safe |

I like the idea.
Of course if you had a working deep freezer you could store your guns in sealed plastic bags in the bottom of the deep freezer, then pour water on top to seal them in the freezer. Genius! Edit: You poll answer depends on the definition of "is." |

Genius! Edit: You poll answer depends on the definition of "is." Nice! Make it better: mannequin head with wig slathered with ketchup, clear plastic bag placed in freezer center stage. Any thief with the audacity to look in the freezer might rethink who he is fucking with

Quoted: Quoted: Never heard of a crook breaking into a dishwasher before..... Just might be crazy enough to work.... Under the circumstances, it's actually a good idea. Imo If dishwashers aren't the type of thing a "scrapper" would grab for metal content it seems like a good idea. I might put it in a basement or leave it right in the kitchen so it's hard to get out of the house though. Garage is just asking for someone to want to "take it off your hands as a favor" some night.

Good idea or bad? Im not concerned with your idea as I am curious as to why you have a non working dishwasher for 37 years lying about your place? |

It's part of the cabinetry ( what da ya know, it was a word ), and was installed in 1959. It may work, but we haven't used it in 35 years. I wash dishes in the sink. I just opened it for the first time since the 1990s yesterday and was surprised to find that there were some really nice pots and pans in there. I needed to buy some and now I don't. I guess my dad was just storing them there because he never used it either. |

Just a thought; but what about your AC return vent behind the filter? We have the old openings made into the house for window type units. It's a 3300 sq ft ranch style brick home built in 1959. It has central heating ( that I don't use , too expensive ), but not central air. |
