Thread: What to do with safe keys/spare

Best place to keep 'em is in one of these : -

Power Point Wall Safe

I used one in the UK but no one had ever heard of 'em over here... but obviously I gave someone at Miter 10 the idea and now they stock them.

Or just keep them in an empty DvD box stored with your other DvD's, If anyone thieves all your DvD's then they end up with a set of keys that they have no idea what they are for.
The "disguised" outlet socket is the best option.

There are loads of small safes available if you look for them disguised as : - baked bean cans, soft drink cans, small oil cans, cleaning material containers, books etc... or better still make your own Bean Can Safe and stick it in the food cupboard... Very few thieves bother to rob Baked Beans... unless you live on some shitty council estate in the UK.

That is clever

I used to live with Manchester 10 miles to the east and Liverpool 10 miles to the west... so you learn quickly where to put things so as the roaming gangs of feral, thieving, hooded scrotes will tend to miss 'em.

I actually saw those the other day when I was at Mitre 10, they're a great idea.

I've put my bolts, spare keys, passports, etc in the same thing. Didn't think of putting photos on a memory stick though - that's a great idea.

While a memory stick is a good idea, I would suggest using something internet based as well, something like Dropbox might be of some use. Accessible from anywhere at all, and less likely to get corrupted.

Good point. There's also the NZ Police serial number asset programme (snap.org.nz): create a profile and you can register all your important stuff, including serial numbers.
