I moved house recently and I have a small 10-gun safe that weights about 150lbs. I am wondering where to put it in the house.
I could put it in the basement but I am worried about a flood or the water heater valve popping or something like that. Also worried about moisture/rust from the sump pump hole and floor drain.And should I bolt it to the concrete floor, the concrete wall or some exposed wall studs down there?
The other option is bolting it to the wall in a closet upstairs. But I worry a smart criminal would go to garage, get a saw and simply cut it out.
Third option is bolting it to the garage floor, but I would prefer to have it somewhere where people don't see it.
