Living in Texas, we have some extra legal options to deal with that last scenario. They might be running away with different metals than they planned, applied subcutaneously.
If I may add, as a firefighter, we’ve found that gun safes are best stored (hidden/ sheet draped) in the furthest corner of your garage. It’s less hot during a fire and normally the first areas we hit for entry. Thanks
You're also putting the safe where it can ber conveniently loaded into a truck bed or van if you do this and behind the least hardened door in the place, which is why you guys use it for your entry point. IMO the best strategy is a floor safe buried in your basement slab (for precious metals) and a decoy safe in your master bedroom closet for thieves to take, or waste their time on.
@@Eli-qr9hc Everybody has a basement or a floor slab unless they live in a house with a dirt floor in which case they likely don't have mucgh worth preotecting but even then burying it in the floor is probably the most secure location. A floor safe has a bunch of advantages including thermal protection and it can be only attacked from its most secure side, gun safes as mentioned above are typically only 1/8" or 3/16" mild steel on the sides and back and can be sliced open with a carbide tipped saw blade like they were butter. My own gun safe in my vault room has a bunch of shelving built in place around it and is bolted to the floor and back wall, so the back and sides are protected from attack. I also only keep guins in it, I don't keep cash, metals, or jewelry in it. Gun safes are not secure at all, and even a TL-30 rated safe can be compromised in minutes if the tools are available, I have such tools (oxyfuel torches, cutting saws, plasma cutter etc.) in my house so it is doubly critical for me that my actual safes are concealed where they will not be found. Floor safes are a great option and if you don't need refgular access they can even be covered with a material like tile. No crooks are going to demo a tile floor looking for a safwe they don't even know is there. But they will shake the gallons of paint on your paint shelf to see if one of them rattles if they think you have valuables stashed in your house.
11:05 - I've heard about a neat trick once. You install security system "A" and put up a sign of the completely different security system "B". Therefore those burglars who would try to breach it are more likely to make a mistake and trigger the alarm.
anyone breaking into your house with half a brain will do the recon and look through your windows for the keypad and note the make and model so they can defeat the anti-tamper switch most likely, I do not think they are going to go by whose sign is on your house
@@nero_palmire yeah, but the "average joe" doesn't have anything worth stealing. Precious metals stackers, gun collectors, watch collectors, and Gem traders are in a different ctegory and there are a lot of operational security errors that can be made, especially if you have a TH-cam channel. For example "Long Island Watch" has his address listed in the wrong town even, but I saw one of his videos where I RECOGNIZED HIS BUILDING SIGNAGE because my buddy has a sopt in the adjacent strip that uses the exact same font and color door markings. So now, were I a criminal, I could target his specific warehouse unit number. Lots of times people leave EXIF data on pictures they post and can be geolocated, there are other ways as well. License plates, tail numbers on aircraft, visible mail, the list goes on.
tell people so can set em up ... they need bulldozer to get most peoples .. imagine be to heavy and bolted and concreted ,, hidden ... then dogs and security ... be like a saw episode or home alone . . could be a lot of fun .
your right ,, also you can make it hard for your self to get it ,, dead lift no stairs . no way in . haha .. people rob houses any way gold or silver not included ... they coming anyway if they get a chance ...
Sperate smaller stash from larger is a good tactic too. But one thing that is not mentioned too much by these people is the assumption of criminals. Keep in mind the government is the biggest criminals. You need to hide it from them too. Government has an upper hand on criminals. They have tracking of metals ira etc. Buy silver gold with cash from dealer that don't have you personal info. Don't believe me? Look at what the feds did to gold during the Great depression. They stole people's gold.
I was in that “rare” situation. I learned a lot about myself that night and it changed me forever. Definitely have layers from lighting, dogs etc. No one is safe regardless of what you have in place. It was by the grace of God he didn’t breach the steel door.
There were some HVAC guys working on my friend's house, and they found a coffee can with $40k in cash in one of the vents. Apparently his deceased parents (who originally owned the house) stashed it in there but never told anyone. Awfully nice of the HVAC guys to be honest enough to let him know about it. How much other hidden money do you think might be out there by older generations that were hiding it at home?
Where I live, in Clearwater Florida, there was a guy that was doing some remodeling in a house he just purchased and he found around 200 Krugerrands in the wall he tore out. Being a stand-up guy, he contacted the previous owner’s son and made sure it was returned to its rightful owner. How would you react to a call from a stranger to let you know you were the owner of 200 Krugerrands you didn’t even know you had?😆
I have heard that some robbers study how to disarm certain types of Security Systems. So, I would put a sticker of a Security System that I am NOT using. That way, having a system may be enough to dissuade them but if they decide to try and disarm it, they will be working with the wrong info. lol
One of the best things to own at home is an air horn. Preferably a marine air horn that is designed to be heard 100 metres away in a fog. If you think there is a burglar in the house, just let rip. The last thing a burglar wants is a loud noise.

Someone walked into my house, took my change jar and a laptop on the counter I used for looking up recipies,........ totally missed 2500 under the onion bowl
When I was younger. I worked in construction of homes. We built a house for a doctor, and he had a safe built into the house. The narrow doorway for the room which contained the safe were two concrete and rebar pillars which were narrower than the dimensions of the safe.
Another tip: Once they enter your home, make it harder for them to exit! A robber took a big rock from a neighbor's garden and used it to break a window to enter my apartment. What they didn't expect was to find that they needed a key to open every door in my flat. The only way out was through the hole in the broken window. Out of all the stuff they could've taken, the only thing that was missing was a little jar with loose change (pennies, nickels, dimes) LOL
My ex mother in law left her safe open once by accident, that time the maid cleaned it out! All of her jewelry, gold coins, and some other things. Maid did get arrested, but half of the jewelry had been sold to refiners and melted already.
@@vladoholic8497 My elderly parents neighbors (Who owns a pool business in Ann Arbor) were housing a criminal who was robbing them of cash and coin collections. Cops knew and did nothing. Look at your neighbors also.
@@OahuAlohaLove It probably wasn't that the cops "knew" and did nothing. If that was reported, the only way to prove who stole from them was to catch them in the act, have it on video, or some other definite proof. You can't just say certain people stole something, when there are several people living in the house. It doesn't work that way. You have to be able to prove which person stole what, and when. Otherwise, they have no case worth bringing to court. Those neighbors had a choice to evict the people they suspected, and if they didn't, that's their problem.
Saw a show on tv about this and your number 1 protection at night is to have the outside of your home very well lit. With today's led spotlights it comes out to less than $40 electricity a year. As far as a large safe check on youtube. The front of a safe is thick steel and makes you think your good. The sides of a safe are thin and a battery powered rotary grinder can defeat them in under 3 minutes. Padlocks are also window dressing. Lost the key to my shed. I was struggling with a hacksaw for half an hour. Remembered I had a dremel with a little cutter wheel and it went through my padlock like butter.
That's why Low key I never put personal stuff online or what I buy or where do I go or where I live or tell people what into or investing or my love life..
I do have a large safe bolted through the floor. It is protected by my friends, Smith &Wesson, Colt, Berretta, Česká zbrojovka, Barrett, Mossberg and many others. In my book one of the most valued metals, would be, copper clad lead.
Great advice, not just for precious metals. Posting social media pictures of your home, garage filled with expensive cars and parts, memorabilia collection or you with your new $5K mountain bike... I wondered how people could be so stupid. Sometimes things are also out of your control. When they introduced the gun registry in Canada, it became pretty obvious the registry had been compromised when when gun thefts went up 1000%, to the point people would break in to steal one or two guns and leave the rest. It was like on-line shopping for criminals.
I consider my German Shepherd to be a low cost deterrent against anyone that is thinking about breaking into my home. She's not an outdoor dog at all, and her bark is the strongest bark I've ever heard in a dog.
I think a nice big heavy duty safe bolted/concreted down would actually be the best Decoy. It would keep the thieves very busy for quite some time only working for nothing. And you can have the last laugh as you watch them on video struggling with that safe.
I agree with everything here except one thing. Robbers break in during the day, predators break in during the night. If someone comes at night, if you weren't smart enough or unable to rather have a gun and not need it than need it and not have it, pick up the biggest painstick you can and fight as if your life depended on it, because it does.
@@michaelsorenson3887 they also use rod probes, so whatever you bury, make it cone shaped pointy bit facing up, that way it will always slide past, instead of making a jarring thud to a dead stop on top of the item.
Get night locks for your exterior doors and change out door hinge screws to longer 3” length. Both inexpensive fixes to prevent kicking down entry doors which is most common way of entry in US residential burglaries. If you have a monitored alarm post the permit number on your window near the alarm co. sticker.
I think you also mean to have extra thick and long plates at the doors and hopefully steel doors if you don’t have steel frames. Then more “layers” as was mentioned.
In the states, keeping a bolted safe in the garage, keeps it safer in case of a fire. Less heat on the exterior of the house and easiest for the firefighters to get to in cases of fire on the first floor
My worry with a safe would be that the criminals first cannot access the safe, but know there must be good stuff inside. So they will come back with guns when you are there and force you to open it.
Buy fake prop money. Same stuff they use in music videos. Get a stack of fake $20s, put a couple real ones on top and bottom for the decoy safe, some silver, costume jewelry etc.. so if they make you open it, they'll take it without really inspecting it.
@Baracka Flaka Flame Shows How little you know. Everyone should know that knives are superior to guns in close range. The closer 2 people are, the better a knife becomes. The further 2 people are, the better a gun becomes.
If you catch someone in your house ....you don't know if they are armed or not. You don't know if they are strung out on something. If someone is in your house day or night you have a green light in my opinion. Think of your family and your life. Worry about consequences later. At least you and your family will be alive. We all see what's going on in the world today. If you catch someone in your house they aren't there for a cup of coffee. God bless.
That's y u should shoot first dont ask questions.. here in the old corrupt uk years ago an old lady lived with her daughter only in the house. A lone burglar broke and was killed by the old lady or her daughter. They rolled hid body up in an.old rug stuck it under the stairs and yrs later wen the old lady died social services went to see the daughter who was obviously a bit simple and some one cleaned the old ladies house out found the body under the stairs cupboard mummified and dead 25 odd years..so if ur a thief and u rob a house and no one knows ur location beware of u get killed in the house no one knows ur gone...........
@@GypsyHunter232UK That's got to be BS. A dead rat in the house is going to stink, but if it's a dead man, the stench is going to be unbearable. It's not going to mummify by itself, either. It will bloat and explode and be a serious mess. That's why people BURY dead bodies.
If I don't hear my German Shepherd barking when I come home, then that's a red flag that my dog is dead, and a robbery is happening, or has happened, in my home. There's a good chance though, that a robber won't try my house, once they hear my German Shepherd barking.
That's the dumbest thing I heard .. just have a safe put couple hundreds dollars in $20s or if you have money couple thousands. Have another safe, very far away with the real money stashed. If they put a gun in your head open the safe with the few hundreds or couple thousands and that would be your insurance...
For Americans it's probably Christmas coming early. Can practise quickdraw on a moving target, can see how well those sweet red dot sights are working, etc. "He only dropped the gun after he received his 60th shot in his centre mass. Honestly, officer."
All for shooting the bad guys, but a battle rifle is probably not a good choice for home security unless there are no other people or animals in the house. That 7.62 NATO round could easily pass through the bad guy, through a wall, and hit your child right in the head. Besides, you're not shooting something 200 yards away and you're trying to maneuver your way through your house. Not that easy with a big rifle. .45 caliber Glock 21 or 41 would be my choice.
It's probably best to just accrue your collection of metals and things you don't need to constantly interact with in a safe deposit box, then when it's complete, dig a hole in your basement concrete floor, put a safe in that hole, and cover it with a thin layer of concrete. Finish the rest of the floor with leftover concrete. If you're collecting silver and gold, there's no need to constantly interact with it. Just imagine sleeping, knowing you've got bars and coins buried. Would feel great.
Thank god I live in the USA because I get to respond in kind with force once they breach my castle. Fortunately I doubt such a breach will occur because I have two layers of security. The canine early warning system will dissuade all but the most committed burglar. Additionally I have cameras and door/window sensors covering the perimeter of the house. My system is not perfect but it will dissuade all but the most committed from threatening my family.
It's EXTREMELY easy to manufacture hidden cavity furniture if you keep it simple. Just add hinges and magnetic baby cabinet locks. 16:00 the American solution is easy. Spend 1k pound sterling and get yourself an AR15, plate carrier, plates, and 10 mags!
The first rule of fight club, ...er...gold/silver storage is don’t talk about figh..er precious metals storage..... the second rule of fig.....er... gold and precious metal storage is don’t talk about precious metals storage ....
Buy decoy gold, put it in your home safe, bury your real gold and other precious materials in a remote location, and then put a paper with an encrypted map in your wallet so the person who kills you can find it afterwards.
As COOL as physically owning Gold & Silver would be, I just like real estate and stocks better - especially w/ dividends. What precious metal ETFs would you recommend with a strong dividend yield?
Take a look at SLVO and GLDI. They give exposure to metals prices but they are not storing 1:1 metal in they vault. You can read up on why Sprott trust funds (e.g. PHYS/PSLV) are backed better by physical metal vs. the JP Morgan funds. They above are interesting because they sell calls on the SLV and GLD and pay crazy dividends monthly. Hope this helps.
PSLV is the only paper silver or gold I would look at but if you’re avoiding physical silver and gold because of security, that’s the ultimate irony. There is no investment, besides real estate without a mortgage and owned outright, more secure than physical gold and silver. If u don’t hold it, u don’t own it. When our economy crashes, it’s already started, stocks and bonds will be good for fire starter, gold and silver will be real money. Why do u think thieves want to steal them? Many Thieves are smart, they know gold and silver is the most timeless and liquid asset on the face of this planet. Don’t avoid owning the best assets because of security, own them for security.
@@silver-en7kl Even if one has a mortgage paid off, they still don't own their property. Property taxes must be paid each year or else the property could be sold at tax auction (preaching to the choir here, I'm sure lol). Silver is indeed real money. One only needs to look at Maple Leaf coin or bar to see the words SILVER and ARGENT on the front. Argent is French for not only the colour silver but also for money. 🙂
So I'm going to state the obvious but I'm afraid many countries outside the US have no right to defend themselves, even against legitimate criminals looking to take your life or property. Get a firearm, get training, know how to use it and know how to defend yourself in your own home.
100%. There is no complying with evil and there is no negotiating with a criminal. If they are about to kill u, you’re last thought will be, you should have bought a gun. Think about it, if the criminal has one, it’s possible for anyone in any country to acquire one as well.
Well even America is losing that right. It’s shameful. *I was almost a victim of a home invasion. I looked into protection and learned that I would probably be sued if the perpetrator had lived or had family. That’s if he were in my home and I was retreating to the furthest area from him. That’s not right. If anyone breaks into your house anyone in that home should have the right to end the intruder without fear of any repercussions. The U.S. is going down the toilet and there’s no stopping it.
A few observations. First, not talking about your holdings or security plan with anybody that isn't 100% trusted is of utmost importance. Second, your dogs will be in extreme danger if a determined criminal learns of your holdings and targets you. Third, diversify holding areas so that if somebody does get the drop on you at gunpoint you can give up a small and largely fake stash. Fourth, most people now use home security cameras that have motion sensors that are tied into their home wi-fi network. If this is your plan be sure to cover the electrical panel area with cameras/detectors because even if cameras are battery powered the network probably isn't. Also, if your system pushes security notifications to your phone you need to get the outside (local) phone number to your local 911 call center and put it on speed dial on your phone. Calling 911 only gets you to 911 in the area where you are at and you will need your home 911 should there be a break-in in progress. Fifth, as a general rule get the best safe you can afford and hide it in a confined area where you can bolt it down. Any safe can be defeated by criminals with tools and time. Having it in a tight space makes it harder to defeat with hammers and pry bars. Finally, if you travel with cash or valuables be aware of civil asset forfeiture laws and never tell police what you have. Always have your things well hidden in vehicles.

Yep. If people want to rob me, they’d have to shoot my protective shepherd. But I’d rather they steal everything I own because my dog is my best friend.
One thing about my house is that I have a carport instead of a garage. As unlikely as it might be, I noticed that if I was gone, it would be very easy for a crook to stand on my other car or a modestly length ladder and remove one of the wood panels that make up part of "the roof" of my carport. I have two cars and often leave in one, while the other is in the carport (one car carport). A baddie could stand up on car and with screw driver and or pry bar, could work lose one of those panels. The rest of my house is pretty solid with wifi security system, triple lock storm-rated doors (I live in gulf coast area), storm windows / sliding door supposedly resistant to crow bars (backed by glass break sensor of security system. It always bothered me that once accessed from outside, all a baddie would need do is, after peeling back insulation in attic, drop through sheet rock roof panel into the house. I do have two motion sensors, assuming everything works as it should. I was thinking that burglar having taken that step might want to keep being clever and look for attic door into house hallway. I've actually found replacement attic doors that have locks on them, though they can, as suggested, simply drop through flimsy ceiling panel. Just curious. Also curious about how good my two triple lock doors are. (Too late now, since I have them for three years!) The quality of the product and the company that installed them (and storm window and sliding door) were/are impeccable. But I read that doors are only as good as the door frame. I know they used much longer screws on these doors than the screws used on doors that came with original construction (1969). Interestingly, contractor said normally he'd be concerned about door weight of the side, carport door (90 lbs, due to thick-ass storm proof burglar resistant plexi glass plate in top 40% of door) being properly supported by some door frames, however, he was impressed by the "old pine" used in this older construction and how it took the longer screws better...or some such explanation. Anyway, sometimes at night I wonder if my triple locks would stand up any better to two two-hundred pound thugs getting a lunging start on my front porch and slamming into the before d escribed, high-quality doors. Any thoughts?
At one time I had a "friend" who I believed was stealing from me so I asked them to let a repair guy in while I went to an appointment (there was no repair guy due). I put a jar of fake coins (chocolate coins) and a jar of real coins in a cupboard behind food tins. I made the fake jar harder to get to and the real stuck to the shelf. I told them I'd be over an hour but returned within 10 minutes. In them 10 mins my fake jar had been taken, the real had been left wth signs of force being used. ~ *shudder* ~
Do not keep it at home in this day and age no matter how slick you think you are. I've worked in the Professional Security Services in Private Client protection Circle for years and I've seen horrible things happen. I keep mine in a private, non-government, non bank issue Vault. I can get to it, hold it, and it is encrypted. You can get home is asking for problems especially if you live in areas like Philadelphia Chicago and New York. It's only yours if you can secure it
I like the idea of burying it in the backyard, as that makes it really hard to find (even if they suspect it's buried the question becomes "where the hell is it buried??"), can attract more attention from neighbors and is fireproof. But what about us who live in apartments? I'm specifically thinking about fireproof: I won't be putting a huge bolted-down safe in here and the small ones are just obvious targets.
I keep my silver/gold hidden in my centipede enclosure. Centipedes are highly aggressive and fast; you need 30cm long tweezers in order to feed them. A burglar would have to be brave/foolish in order to reach around the enclosure.
I've known a few people to use heavy duty gun safes that can't be cut or drilled bolted to the floor for guns gold silver and etc. Those safes not going no where 😅😅😅
Just buy a liberty or a champion safe, bolt it into concrete, and forget about it. They also make safes that are fire resistant up to 2 hours. The Safes co.s listed are market leaders, and an extremely safe way to protect all types of assets.

@@peterwallis4288 they can’t come in without breaking alerting my alarm system. And my cameras send a notification to my phone when it detects movement.
A home invasion almost happened to me. It was freak timing that a police helicopter was flying back from the next county right over my home and lite up my house in less than 1 minute. Plus 4 units arrived within 3 minutes of my 911 call. I was also so grateful for having a steel doors that he couldn’t kick in and two dogs to slow him up if that door failed. It took 6 officers to pin the guy down. He was drunk and had obviously done some drug. It dawned on me how much danger I was in when the 911 operator asked me what the guy was wearing: All black clothes, long sleeves and thin leather gloves when it was 80° outside at 3am. All I could think of was the Simpson trial and the gloves that “didn’t fit”.😖
Now days it's mobs that may come looking, especially if things get bad. I'd conceal the main safe by adding a fake wall (shorten a closet or in stairway) then have a cheaper one with small amount of valuables, because if you were overtaken by a mob, and forced to open under gunpoint. ...they'll know there's another one hidden if it's just a bunch of junk in it. It wouldn't be a pretty picture! If it's behind a wall you can add your 25 year food storage too!
If you got overtaken, you didn't train enough and/or your defense budget was insufficient. There is no reason a defender should be overrun by anyone without air support. Period. If someone dies from some ghetto fools with hi points, they probably deserved it. There's been over a decade of warnings to get ready for this sh77.
This doesn't mention fire danger. If you have any significant precious metals they could be reduced to a lump, melted in with whatever was close by. If you can find it in the rubble you can take it to a refiner to salvage, but that costs you something. Some kind of fire protection is important. Even if not a safe, something buried in the crawl space, an improvised fireproof container, etc.
Great advice all around BUT... let's say you want to keep cash in your home. You make a sizable withdrawal from the bank. The teller knows, tells --??? OK then you buy metals from a mint, UPS, Fedex, USPS, all know you got 25 lbs from a mint, tells--??? It is impossible for no one to know you have something of value in your home. All other points well taken. Also lots of people will know when you buy a safe. The dealer, his employees, delivery people and so on.
Don’t take cash out all at once, squirrel it away over time. All of the bullion dealers use discrete return address company name, plus can have shipped to your office, PO Box etc.
Try making a sizable withdrawal in cash from your bank. You may be surprised. I needed cash once, and not A LOT, but it wasn't pocket change, and my bank told me it would take them 3 weeks to get that much. Banks don't keep a lot of cash.
Also, everywhere I've ever ordered precious metals from ships in non-descript packaging. It could be a wrench, a drill bit, a paperweight. UPS, Fedex, USPS... they don't know it's metal.

You're also putting the safe where it can ber conveniently loaded into a truck bed or van if you do this and behind the least hardened door in the place, which is why you guys use it for your entry point. IMO the best strategy is a floor safe buried in your basement slab (for precious metals) and a decoy safe in your master bedroom closet for thieves to take, or waste their time on.
@@mytuberforyou lots of people don’t have a basement, but keeping it in an unseen location in your garage bolted to the floor works well
@@Eli-qr9hc Everybody has a basement or a floor slab unless they live in a house with a dirt floor in which case they likely don't have mucgh worth preotecting but even then burying it in the floor is probably the most secure location.
A floor safe has a bunch of advantages including thermal protection and it can be only attacked from its most secure side, gun safes as mentioned above are typically only 1/8" or 3/16" mild steel on the sides and back and can be sliced open with a carbide tipped saw blade like they were butter. My own gun safe in my vault room has a bunch of shelving built in place around it and is bolted to the floor and back wall, so the back and sides are protected from attack. I also only keep guins in it, I don't keep cash, metals, or jewelry in it. Gun safes are not secure at all, and even a TL-30 rated safe can be compromised in minutes if the tools are available, I have such tools (oxyfuel torches, cutting saws, plasma cutter etc.) in my house so it is doubly critical for me that my actual safes are concealed where they will not be found. Floor safes are a great option and if you don't need refgular access they can even be covered with a material like tile. No crooks are going to demo a tile floor looking for a safwe they don't even know is there. But they will shake the gallons of paint on your paint shelf to see if one of them rattles if they think you have valuables stashed in your house.

@@nero_palmire yeah, but the "average joe" doesn't have anything worth stealing. Precious metals stackers, gun collectors, watch collectors, and Gem traders are in a different ctegory and there are a lot of operational security errors that can be made, especially if you have a TH-cam channel.
For example "Long Island Watch" has his address listed in the wrong town even, but I saw one of his videos where I RECOGNIZED HIS BUILDING SIGNAGE because my buddy has a sopt in the adjacent strip that uses the exact same font and color door markings. So now, were I a criminal, I could target his specific warehouse unit number. Lots of times people leave EXIF data on pictures they post and can be geolocated, there are other ways as well. License plates, tail numbers on aircraft, visible mail, the list goes on.
I can honestly say, I believe that guy understands the mind of a criminal. Well done video imho.
Only me see he look like one? :))
Yeah, he looks shifty and suspicious as hell.
The best advice to storing precious metals at home.... don't tell anyone.
tell people so can set em up ... they need bulldozer to get most peoples .. imagine be to heavy and bolted and concreted ,, hidden ... then dogs and security ... be like a saw episode or home alone . . could be a lot of fun .
your right ,, also you can make it hard for your self to get it ,, dead lift no stairs . no way in . haha .. people rob houses any way gold or silver not included ... they coming anyway if they get a chance ...
Lol
.was just gonna say that then i see you beat me too it
Sperate smaller stash from larger is a good tactic too. But one thing that is not mentioned too much by these people is the assumption of criminals. Keep in mind the government is the biggest criminals. You need to hide it from them too. Government has an upper hand on criminals. They have tracking of metals ira etc. Buy silver gold with cash from dealer that don't have you personal info. Don't believe me? Look at what the feds did to gold during the Great depression. They stole people's gold.
@@boonmsgt Excellent point, friend. Too often people have a false sense of security when it comes to government.
I was in that “rare” situation. I learned a lot about myself that night and it changed me forever.
Definitely have layers from lighting, dogs etc. No one is safe regardless of what you have in place.
It was by the grace of God he didn’t breach the steel door.
There were some HVAC guys working on my friend's house, and they found a coffee can with $40k in cash in one of the vents. Apparently his deceased parents (who originally owned the house) stashed it in there but never told anyone.
Awfully nice of the HVAC guys to be honest enough to let him know about it. How much other hidden money do you think might be out there by older generations that were hiding it at home?
Probably had 400k 😂
Someone I know bought a house and found a nice stash of gold and silver behind a wall.
“Yes sir we only found this $10k behind the vent”
Sad thing is that $40K was worth $500K back when they initially hid it but inflation can only get you a ford mustang out of that money now
Where I live, in Clearwater Florida, there was a guy that was doing some remodeling in a house he just purchased and he found around 200 Krugerrands in the wall he tore out. Being a stand-up guy, he contacted the previous owner’s son and made sure it was returned to its rightful owner. How would you react to a call from a stranger to let you know you were the owner of 200 Krugerrands you didn’t even know you had?😆
I have heard that some robbers study how to disarm certain types of Security Systems. So, I would put a sticker of a Security System that I am NOT using. That way, having a system may be enough to dissuade them but if they decide to try and disarm it, they will be working with the wrong info. lol
Smart! 😂

One of the best things to own at home is an air horn. Preferably a marine air horn that is designed to be heard 100 metres away in a fog. If you think there is a burglar in the house, just let rip. The last thing a burglar wants is a loud noise.
Or a bullet in the head. But whatever gets the job done I guess. My option means they won't commit another potentially deadly home invasion again.
And if you can, use your car remote to set off your cars alarm system.
Or an AR-15
They hate the sound of a 300 blackout AR even more. I love being American. 🥰
I'm English so I have to shout " oi oi oi " whilst running at them with a wooden spoon... I'm assuming an AR15 is some sort of brand new tea pot, most pleasing indeed sir !

"You want to keep you money and valuables safe? Put 'em in a book! [criminals] don't read!"
- Chris Rock, paraphrased...
When I was younger. I worked in construction of homes. We built a house for a doctor, and he had a safe built into the house. The narrow doorway for the room which contained the safe were two concrete and rebar pillars which were narrower than the dimensions of the safe.
“Put just enough cash in your safe to satisfy a thief”
And don’t tell anyone where the real stuff is buried.
Has any one ever had a relative steal from you?
Another tip: Once they enter your home, make it harder for them to exit! A robber took a big rock from a neighbor's garden and used it to break a window to enter my apartment. What they didn't expect was to find that they needed a key to open every door in my flat. The only way out was through the hole in the broken window. Out of all the stuff they could've taken, the only thing that was missing was a little jar with loose change (pennies, nickels, dimes) LOL
My ex mother in law left her safe open once by accident, that time the maid cleaned it out! All of her jewelry, gold coins, and some other things. Maid did get arrested, but half of the jewelry had been sold to refiners and melted already.
So the lesson she learned was that she shouldn´t have hired a maid...
@@vladoholic8497 My elderly parents neighbors (Who owns a pool business in Ann Arbor) were housing a criminal who was robbing them of cash and coin collections. Cops knew and did nothing. Look at your neighbors also.
@@OahuAlohaLove It probably wasn't that the cops "knew" and did nothing. If that was reported, the only way to prove who stole from them was to catch them in the act, have it on video, or some other definite proof. You can't just say certain people stole something, when there are several people living in the house. It doesn't work that way. You have to be able to prove which person stole what, and when. Otherwise, they have no case worth bringing to court. Those neighbors had a choice to evict the people they suspected, and if they didn't, that's their problem.
@@hiphopjewels I saw the Perp leaving the house one night. Police report on record.
@@OahuAlohaLove still not proof.
Saw a show on tv about this and your number 1 protection at night is to have the outside of your home very well lit. With today's led spotlights it comes out to less than $40 electricity a year. As far as a large safe check on youtube. The front of a safe is thick steel and makes you think your good. The sides of a safe are thin and a battery powered rotary grinder can defeat them in under 3 minutes. Padlocks are also window dressing. Lost the key to my shed. I was struggling with a hacksaw for half an hour. Remembered I had a dremel with a little cutter wheel and it went through my padlock like butter.
Agreed. Crime hates the light.
I probably could have picked it faster

That's why Low key I never put personal stuff online or what I buy or where do I go or where I live or tell people what into or investing or my love life..
I do have a large safe bolted through the floor. It is protected by my friends, Smith &Wesson, Colt, Berretta, Česká zbrojovka, Barrett, Mossberg and many others. In my book one of the most valued metals, would be, copper clad lead.

Great advice, not just for precious metals. Posting social media pictures of your home, garage filled with expensive cars and parts, memorabilia collection or you with your new $5K mountain bike... I wondered how people could be so stupid. Sometimes things are also out of your control. When they introduced the gun registry in Canada, it became pretty obvious the registry had been compromised when when gun thefts went up 1000%, to the point people would break in to steal one or two guns and leave the rest. It was like on-line shopping for criminals.
Very informative, nice and professional guy too, I would hire him. Thank you for this video, wealth of knowledge. peace from Macau.
I consider my German Shepherd to be a low cost deterrent against anyone that is thinking about breaking into my home. She's not an outdoor dog at all, and her bark is the strongest bark I've ever heard in a dog.
German Shepherd are great guard dogs and loyal friends!
My Australian Sheppard makes a wonderful deterrent as well.
German Shed-herds. The money your dog saves you from burglaries, you’ll spend on broken vacuum cleaners.
I think a nice big heavy duty safe bolted/concreted down would actually be the best Decoy. It would keep the thieves very busy for quite some time only working for nothing. And you can have the last laugh as you watch them on video struggling with that safe.
I agree with everything here except one thing. Robbers break in during the day, predators break in during the night. If someone comes at night, if you weren't smart enough or unable to rather have a gun and not need it than need it and not have it, pick up the biggest painstick you can and fight as if your life depended on it, because it does.

Metal detectors bro.
tehdrek I know - along with the gold & Silver, I’m trying to stack some mines for the field! 😆
@@tehdrek just take a handful of tiny metal (like bbs, nuts bolts etc) and push them into the dirt in various places. 🤷🏻♂️ spy vs spy
@@michaelsorenson3887 they also use rod probes, so whatever you bury, make it cone shaped pointy bit facing up, that way it will always slide past, instead of making a jarring thud to a dead stop on top of the item.
Get night locks for your exterior doors and change out door hinge screws to longer 3” length. Both inexpensive fixes to prevent kicking down entry doors which is most common way of entry in US residential burglaries. If you have a monitored alarm post the permit number on your window near the alarm co. sticker.
I think you also mean to have extra thick and long plates at the doors and hopefully steel doors if you don’t have steel frames.
Then more “layers” as was mentioned.
In the states, keeping a bolted safe in the garage, keeps it safer in case of a fire. Less heat on the exterior of the house and easiest for the firefighters to get to in cases of fire on the first floor
My worry with a safe would be that the criminals first cannot access the safe, but know there must be good stuff inside. So they will come back with guns when you are there and force you to open it.
No worries, carry always one concealed on you since you are home and learn to properly use a knife as well.
Buy fake prop money. Same stuff they use in music videos. Get a stack of fake $20s, put a couple real ones on top and bottom for the decoy safe, some silver, costume jewelry etc.. so if they make you open it, they'll take it without really inspecting it.
Not if you have your Own gun!
@Baracka Flaka Flame Shows How little you know. Everyone should know that knives are superior to guns in close range. The closer 2 people are, the better a knife becomes. The further 2 people are, the better a gun becomes.
@Baracka Flaka Flame Right. You have a gun in your hand and are aware of your surroundings 24/7 plus you never sleep. You keep thinking that.
this video seems like "talking your book" type of information, which is understandable

Against rule one, don't show off on social media.
Appearances is everything ; don't be flashy, be armed always , with some sort of self-defense.
If you catch someone in your house ....you don't know if they are armed or not. You don't know if they are strung out on something. If someone is in your house day or night you have a green light in my opinion. Think of your family and your life. Worry about consequences later. At least you and your family will be alive. We all see what's going on in the world today.
If you catch someone in your house they aren't there for a cup of coffee. God bless.
That's y u should shoot first dont ask questions.. here in the old corrupt uk years ago an old lady lived with her daughter only in the house. A lone burglar broke and was killed by the old lady or her daughter. They rolled hid body up in an.old rug stuck it under the stairs and yrs later wen the old lady died social services went to see the daughter who was obviously a bit simple and some one cleaned the old ladies house out found the body under the stairs cupboard mummified and dead 25 odd years..so if ur a thief and u rob a house and no one knows ur location beware of u get killed in the house no one knows ur gone...........
@@GypsyHunter232UK That's got to be BS. A dead rat in the house is going to stink, but if it's a dead man, the stench is going to be unbearable. It's not going to mummify by itself, either. It will bloat and explode and be a serious mess. That's why people BURY dead bodies.
If I don't hear my German Shepherd barking when I come home, then that's a red flag that my dog is dead, and a robbery is happening, or has happened, in my home. There's a good chance though, that a robber won't try my house, once they hear my German Shepherd barking.
They broke in , went straight for the freezer , damn , got my ice pops !
I use two safes. I put the smaller one inside the larger one. I worked hard for what I have and so should they!!
That's the dumbest thing I heard
.. just have a safe put couple hundreds dollars in $20s or if you have money couple thousands.
Have another safe, very far away with the real money stashed. If they put a gun in your head open the safe with the few hundreds or couple thousands and that would be your insurance...
@@silvereagle1798 true
keep some 5 gm gold bars in the smaller safe and bury the real safe under the flooring of your home
I have an engelhard 100 oz as a door stop. Sometimes in plane sight is the best strategy.
For Americans it's probably Christmas coming early. Can practise quickdraw on a moving target, can see how well those sweet red dot sights are working, etc. "He only dropped the gun after he received his 60th shot in his centre mass. Honestly, officer."
That happen to my mates who ever broke into there home they watched there routine. When they ,leave for work. God Bless
30 rounds of 7.62 nato is a huge deterrent as well. To bad that guys in the UK where compliance is the best strategy.
All for shooting the bad guys, but a battle rifle is probably not a good choice for home security unless there are no other people or animals in the house. That 7.62 NATO round could easily pass through the bad guy, through a wall, and hit your child right in the head. Besides, you're not shooting something 200 yards away and you're trying to maneuver your way through your house. Not that easy with a big rifle. .45 caliber Glock 21 or 41 would be my choice.
It's probably best to just accrue your collection of metals and things you don't need to constantly interact with in a safe deposit box, then when it's complete, dig a hole in your basement concrete floor, put a safe in that hole, and cover it with a thin layer of concrete. Finish the rest of the floor with leftover concrete. If you're collecting silver and gold, there's no need to constantly interact with it. Just imagine sleeping, knowing you've got bars and coins buried. Would feel great.
Thank god I live in the USA because I get to respond in kind with force once they breach my castle. Fortunately I doubt such a breach will occur because I have two layers of security. The canine early warning system will dissuade all but the most committed burglar. Additionally I have cameras and door/window sensors covering the perimeter of the house. My system is not perfect but it will dissuade all but the most committed from threatening my family.
It's EXTREMELY easy to manufacture hidden cavity furniture if you keep it simple. Just add hinges and magnetic baby cabinet locks.
16:00 the American solution is easy. Spend 1k pound sterling and get yourself an AR15, plate carrier, plates, and 10 mags!

The first rule of fight club, ...er...gold/silver storage is don’t talk about figh..er precious metals storage.....
the second rule of fig.....er... gold and precious metal storage is don’t talk about precious metals storage ....
Buy decoy gold, put it in your home safe, bury your real gold and other precious materials in a remote location, and then put a paper with an encrypted map in your wallet so the person who kills you can find it afterwards.
As COOL as physically owning Gold & Silver would be, I just like real estate and stocks better - especially w/ dividends. What precious metal ETFs would you recommend with a strong dividend yield?
No risk of theft is present if you own precious metal ETFs and no storage costs
Take a look at SLVO and GLDI. They give exposure to metals prices but they are not storing 1:1 metal in they vault. You can read up on why Sprott trust funds (e.g. PHYS/PSLV) are backed better by physical metal vs. the JP Morgan funds. They above are interesting because they sell calls on the SLV and GLD and pay crazy dividends monthly. Hope this helps.
PSLV is the only paper silver or gold I would look at but if you’re avoiding physical silver and gold because of security, that’s the ultimate irony. There is no investment, besides real estate without a mortgage and owned outright, more secure than physical gold and silver. If u don’t hold it, u don’t own it. When our economy crashes, it’s already started, stocks and bonds will be good for fire starter, gold and silver will be real money. Why do u think thieves want to steal them? Many Thieves are smart, they know gold and silver is the most timeless and liquid asset on the face of this planet. Don’t avoid owning the best assets because of security, own them for security.
@@silver-en7kl Even if one has a mortgage paid off, they still don't own their property. Property taxes must be paid each year or else the property could be sold at tax auction (preaching to the choir here, I'm sure lol).
Silver is indeed real money. One only needs to look at Maple Leaf coin or bar to see the words SILVER and ARGENT on the front. Argent is French for not only the colour silver but also for money. 🙂
So I'm going to state the obvious but I'm afraid many countries outside the US have no right to defend themselves, even against legitimate criminals looking to take your life or property. Get a firearm, get training, know how to use it and know how to defend yourself in your own home.
100%. There is no complying with evil and there is no negotiating with a criminal. If they are about to kill u, you’re last thought will be, you should have bought a gun. Think about it, if the criminal has one, it’s possible for anyone in any country to acquire one as well.
Well even America is losing that right. It’s shameful.
*I was almost a victim of a home invasion. I looked into protection and learned that I would probably be sued if the perpetrator had lived or had family. That’s if he were in my home and I was retreating to the furthest area from him.
That’s not right. If anyone breaks into your house anyone in that home should have the right to end the intruder without fear of any repercussions.
The U.S. is going down the toilet and there’s no stopping it.
A few observations. First, not talking about your holdings or security plan with anybody that isn't 100% trusted is of utmost importance. Second, your dogs will be in extreme danger if a determined criminal learns of your holdings and targets you. Third, diversify holding areas so that if somebody does get the drop on you at gunpoint you can give up a small and largely fake stash. Fourth, most people now use home security cameras that have motion sensors that are tied into their home wi-fi network. If this is your plan be sure to cover the electrical panel area with cameras/detectors because even if cameras are battery powered the network probably isn't. Also, if your system pushes security notifications to your phone you need to get the outside (local) phone number to your local 911 call center and put it on speed dial on your phone. Calling 911 only gets you to 911 in the area where you are at and you will need your home 911 should there be a break-in in progress. Fifth, as a general rule get the best safe you can afford and hide it in a confined area where you can bolt it down. Any safe can be defeated by criminals with tools and time. Having it in a tight space makes it harder to defeat with hammers and pry bars. Finally, if you travel with cash or valuables be aware of civil asset forfeiture laws and never tell police what you have. Always have your things well hidden in vehicles.
I don't trust anyone 100% with my valuables and where they're hidden. Unfortunately, I had to tell my wife because we're partners in this adventure.

Guns are great if you're at home, but you are not at home 24/7. How will a gun work when you're not at home?
Just make sure to know what the local stand your ground laws are. Not much point in protecting your stuff if you wind up in jail.

Off topic:
Love hearing the different American vs British accents here!
Thanks for the info. Glenn Beck says everyone should own some silver and gold. I am not sure it is a good thing for me to do.
One thing about my house is that I have a carport instead of a garage. As unlikely as it might be, I noticed that if I was gone, it would be very easy for a crook to stand on my other car or a modestly length ladder and remove one of the wood panels that make up part of "the roof" of my carport. I have two cars and often leave in one, while the other is in the carport (one car carport). A baddie could stand up on car and with screw driver and or pry bar, could work lose one of those panels. The rest of my house is pretty solid with wifi security system, triple lock storm-rated doors (I live in gulf coast area), storm windows / sliding door supposedly resistant to crow bars (backed by glass break sensor of security system. It always bothered me that once accessed from outside, all a baddie would need do is, after peeling back insulation in attic, drop through sheet rock roof panel into the house. I do have two motion sensors, assuming everything works as it should. I was thinking that burglar having taken that step might want to keep being clever and look for attic door into house hallway. I've actually found replacement attic doors that have locks on them, though they can, as suggested, simply drop through flimsy ceiling panel. Just curious.
Also curious about how good my two triple lock doors are. (Too late now, since I have them for three years!) The quality of the product and the company that installed them (and storm window and sliding door) were/are impeccable. But I read that doors are only as good as the door frame. I know they used much longer screws on these doors than the screws used on doors that came with original construction (1969). Interestingly, contractor said normally he'd be concerned about door weight of the side, carport door (90 lbs, due to thick-ass storm proof burglar resistant plexi glass plate in top 40% of door) being properly supported by some door frames, however, he was impressed by the "old pine" used in this older construction and how it took the longer screws better...or some such explanation. Anyway, sometimes at night I wonder if my triple locks would stand up any better to two two-hundred pound thugs getting a lunging start on my front porch and slamming into the before d escribed, high-quality doors. Any thoughts?
nobody is going to go through the trouble dude, unless the score is going to be worth it. they will just move on to an easier target.
@@Fanta.... but if I have a nice enough safe that they've heard about, maybe they'd think the score is worth it.

That was useful tips on security. Thank you!
At one time I had a "friend" who I believed was stealing from me so I asked them to let a repair guy in while I went to an appointment (there was no repair guy due). I put a jar of fake coins (chocolate coins) and a jar of real coins in a cupboard behind food tins. I made the fake jar harder to get to and the real stuck to the shelf.
I told them I'd be over an hour but returned within 10 minutes. In them 10 mins my fake jar had been taken, the real had been left wth signs of force being used.

Sounds like your “friend” has a drug problem
Once you go crack, you never go back.
Do not keep it at home in this day and age no matter how slick you think you are. I've worked in the Professional Security Services in Private Client protection Circle for years and I've seen horrible things happen. I keep mine in a private, non-government, non bank issue Vault. I can get to it, hold it, and it is encrypted. You can get home is asking for problems especially if you live in areas like Philadelphia Chicago and New York. It's only yours if you can secure it
Boston has a great private Vault, most major cities do but if I were you I would go offshore. That is my next move

This guy is great. Needs his own channel lol.
I like the idea of burying it in the backyard, as that makes it really hard to find (even if they suspect it's buried the question becomes "where the hell is it buried??"), can attract more attention from neighbors and is fireproof. But what about us who live in apartments? I'm specifically thinking about fireproof: I won't be putting a huge bolted-down safe in here and the small ones are just obvious targets.
Put it in large potted plant on patio or have a large potted tree and put it in there.

Great advice. I got them all, but where can I buy a pet skunk? More importantly, can you train them not to piss all over the owner?
i love the insights here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bad thing about a safe is if a robber comes in while your home and they see a safe they would think jackpot and will demand you to open it.
Not if they're DEAD.
Put the safe somewhere where they can't see it. Don't leave it out in plain sight.
@@1970stang so many people seem to feel sure about their fighting or shooting abilities. They would come in when you are not expecting it, and probably don't have a gun in your hand.
@@peterwallis4288 they can’t come in without breaking alerting my alarm system. And my cameras send a notification to my phone when it detects movement.
Have a decoy safe... one above ground and one below ground. good stuff underground, sacrificial stuff above ground.
GREAT video cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹
Being robbed by armed robbers in your house is not rare in South Africa
It happened to me I was held up by armed robbers in my house
A home invasion almost happened to me. It was freak timing that a police helicopter was flying back from the next county right over my home and lite up my house in less than 1 minute. Plus 4 units arrived within 3 minutes of my 911 call.
I was also so grateful for having a steel doors that he couldn’t kick in and two dogs to slow him up if that door failed.
It took 6 officers to pin the guy down. He was drunk and had obviously done some drug.
It dawned on me how much danger I was in when the 911 operator asked me what the guy was wearing:
All black clothes, long sleeves and thin leather gloves when it was 80° outside at 3am.
All I could think of was the Simpson trial and the gloves that “didn’t fit”.😖
If there's someone in your home at night, And you are home, It is not a burglary, It is a robbery !!!
"What should you do if they break in while you are home?" I live in the South, what do you think I am going to do?
Now days it's mobs that may come looking, especially if things get bad. I'd conceal the main safe by adding a fake wall (shorten a closet or in stairway) then have a cheaper one with small amount of valuables, because if you were overtaken by a mob, and forced to open under gunpoint. ...they'll know there's another one hidden if it's just a bunch of junk in it. It wouldn't be a pretty picture! If it's behind a wall you can add your 25 year food storage too!
If you got overtaken, you didn't train enough and/or your defense budget was insufficient. There is no reason a defender should be overrun by anyone without air support. Period. If someone dies from some ghetto fools with hi points, they probably deserved it. There's been over a decade of warnings to get ready for this sh77.
Great video again 👍 he spoke alot of sense .
This doesn't mention fire danger. If you have any significant precious metals they could be reduced to a lump, melted in with whatever was close by. If you can find it in the rubble you can take it to a refiner to salvage, but that costs you something. Some kind of fire protection is important. Even if not a safe, something buried in the crawl space, an improvised fireproof container, etc.
If a thief finds your safe..... but can't move it out of the house, they will just come back when you are home and make YOU open it!
Great advice all around BUT... let's say you want to keep cash in your home. You make a sizable withdrawal from the bank. The teller knows, tells --??? OK then you buy metals from a mint, UPS, Fedex, USPS, all know you got 25 lbs from a mint, tells--??? It is impossible for no one to know you have something of value in your home. All other points well taken. Also lots of people will know when you buy a safe. The dealer, his employees, delivery people and so on.
Don’t take cash out all at once, squirrel it away over time. All of the bullion dealers use discrete return address company name, plus can have shipped to your office, PO Box etc.
Try making a sizable withdrawal in cash from your bank. You may be surprised. I needed cash once, and not A LOT, but it wasn't pocket change, and my bank told me it would take them 3 weeks to get that much. Banks don't keep a lot of cash.
Also, everywhere I've ever ordered precious metals from ships in non-descript packaging. It could be a wrench, a drill bit, a paperweight. UPS, Fedex, USPS... they don't know it's metal.
My delivery was ball bearings!
@@jeffsmith4110 yeah stuff sent in the post passes many hands. by the time it gets to the end recipient, nobody will really know or care generally speaking, especially in small weights
