Thread: Disguising a safe, any ideas?

Nah I have to agree with the decoy safe. If you get burgled and your place is like mine, the burglar is going to find reloading gear, brass for Africa, hiking boots, frozen unlabeled meat in the freezer, etc etc all sorts of shit pointing to there being firearms in the house. If you don't give them something to find, they will look until they find what you don't want them to find!

I always thought the best place for a concealed entrance to a safe would be in the downstairs/spare loo. It's a room many houses have, easy for a burglar to glance into, see that it's empty, and immediately write off and keep going somewhere else (and unless they are absolutely clamping off a gigantic turd, unlikely to spend any time in there..) instead of investigating further. We got burgled years ago and they even had a nosey in the bloody washing machine! Those types of loo tend to be crammed into wherever they will fit within the space of the house, like at the bottom of stairs, kinks in the corridor, that kind of thing. These would also be the best place to confuse a burglar re the void that's missing, if you know what I mean.
