A good safe is the key to keeping your valuables safe
Thus, in the USA, ruined stockbrokers posed naked for tabloids, in Germany, Marx's 'Capital' was elevated to the rank of popular economic literature, and in Russia, people tired of man-made disasters swept goods off the shelves of antique stores... What to do to avoid making foolish mistakes?
Saving their savings from the financial crisis, many Britons and Russians followed the principle 'My home is my castle' and bought home safes. Thus, in October 2008 in the UK, safe sales rose on average by 25% compared to the previous month. The situation was similar in France. Having lost trust in banks, the population persistently cashed out accounts and put money in safes.
At the same time, Europeans preferred expensive products. According to the managing director of one British company specializing in this field, people prefer safes that meet European standards, as in this case there are no problems with insuring the contents. Moreover, the amount of insurance payouts increases as the safe class rises.
Several Russian companies selling safes said that the situation was the same in Russia: the country's safe market had never seen such a frenzy as in recent times.
A seller from a specialized online store clarified that sales jumped by 30%, and the number of calls from potential buyers even increased by 50%. Demand also rose for gun safes, which are required at home to obtain a firearms license.
When buying a safe, remember that most popular models are designed to protect the contents not from burglary but from fire. To increase security, the safe should be attached to the floor, or better yet, built into a wall or floor.
