Even with two safes, you just can't get everything valuable in there. I tend
to put things in the safe that would be the hardest to replace. I have a
very complete macro lab and that stuff certainly would not fit in a safe. It
would be too much of a pain to dismantle it anyway.
I have a Parker double that I need to have appraised. Some of those things
are worth over 20 grand. This one belonged to my wife's uncle and his mind
is too far gone to remember the details about it. He doesn't even know that
I have it. We gave him a Ruana skinning knife in 1964 and I now have that
back too. One just like it sold for $3000 the other day but I plan to keep
this one (in the safe).
Here's to no burglars.

I've got two gun safes (or should it be "saves"), but I'm running out of
room for camera gear, where I used to keep a lot of it when it wasn't in
use.. Most of the guns are worth more, so a lot of the camera stuff has been
moved. Except for what I hope's coming tomorrow! Of course, there's the two
Weatherbys, and the old 1912 Parker 16 gauge, the 1860.38 Cal. Colt Navy
that my great grandfather shot a Yankee or two with during the War or
Northern Agression. Can't leave them out for theves. Of course, I doubt any
would dare come here. I've never been burgluarized. Could be because I
always keep always a car in the driveway with an NRA Life Member decal in
the back window and one of these on the front, back and garage doors.
