Anybody have a safe in their fiver (or tow vehicle) and willing to give me some potential location specifics in a PM or email?

We have a few things we should store in a 30 minute or 1 hour fire resistant box but I don't have a clue where to start.

After shopping at Staples for safes (I figure if the rig cathes on fire, the rig will be gone in 20 minutes!!) We found the exact same models at Home Depot for almost half the price Staples wanted (Sentry Safes)

We got ours at WalMart, combination firebox/safe, that can be placed anywhere. The closet and under the bed are the obvious places to "hide" the box -- ours is behind the bedroom TV in the large storage space and alongside one of the side walls. Hidden from view by the TV which is not easily moved.

My feelings are hurt..... you guys are having WAAAAY too much fun without me!!

Bet Chief has some ol' girlie magazines from his military days in his safe! Bad thing is he can't remember the combination....and if did, what would he do with it once he got them out!!!

Just kiddin' Chief...you know you can't afford to kick me off the site!!! I hope.

Tom,
No simpathy for you. I heard from a very reliable source that you can have a good time all by your self
