I always assumed safe deposit boxes are the best way to store valuables. But I've seen a few incidents of banks getting robbed successfully in the last few years, including one near me, and then there is the potential for violations of civil liberties like this. Is there a better alternative? Are home safes actually anything more than cosmetic?
