If you have significant jewelry where do you keep it - safe deposit boxes are not safe apparently

[Anonymous]

Someone posted an article link in another thread about how a man lost contents of his box and there is no protection. I am asking for my mom. I wouldn’t advice her to keep it at home then where. What do you all do?

Remember where they stored the gold watch in pulp fiction?

Hide it. Never in the obvious places like jewelry boxes or underwear drawer.

OP. Its a large enough quantity that she is not considering hiding it at home

Hoping to get some meaningful responses on DCUM. In which bank do you keep your heirlooms?

[Anonymous]

TD bank safe deposit box.

Wall safe.

For in home storage guy from the insurance company told my friend after a robbery to store her jewelry in a kitchen drawer. She so embraced this that when she redid kitchen she had a fake insert created in one of the new cabinets with dedicated cubbies below.

Make sure you tell all relevant family members about this. My relative has done this, and I worry that if she gets sick or dies and the house is sold, that nobody will retrieve the valuables.

A friend's mom did that in baseboards somewhere - it was a serendipitous find.

Safety deposit box. When we were robbed, they came straight to the master bedroom dressers and closet.

Pp here. I think any bank safety deposit box would be fine.

If you keep it in your home, please provide your address and a specific location in the home. For informational purposes of course.

My mother use to hide jewelry in her home and then she got dementia and couldn't remember where she hid it. We searched and searched with no luck.

+1 to please tell at least one family member if you hide jewelry at home. My uncle did this with his mom's jewelry. When he did it took my dad YEARS to uncover all of the hiding places. One ring he found in a junky old box of screws he almost tossed out!
