No Valuables on the Nightstand
Never, under any circumstance, is this a good idea to keep valuables on the nightstand. This especially holds if you’re going away on vacation, but not only then. This is one of the first places a burglar will look when they break in (if they break in. we don’t mean to sound too pessimistic).
Move these valuables to a bolted-down safe, it makes for better storage, and that way you know it will remain safe. If you have something so incredibly valuable, keeping it in the house is not an option, move it to a safety deposit box located offsite. This costs a bit of extra money, but the peace of mind is worth it if you ask me.
