Keep Your Most Precious Items Off-Site
Anything you deem valuable and never want to run the risk of having it stolen – put it in a safety deposit box that’s offsite. It is the only way to ensure it remains in your possession. There are some alternatives to safety deposit boxes, but it is by far the best idea and it is not too expensive.
You do not always need access to passports, social security cards, highly-expensive jewelry, and other valuables on a daily basis, so put them away for safekeeping. This way, you never have to wonder if it will be there when you get back from a family vacation.
