Rent a Safe Deposit Box
It's very important to rent a safe deposit box whether you are a short term vacationer or a long term resident. They are your best protection against theft and other disasters.
Unfortunately, for the vacationer pick-pocket theft, muggings, and other petty crime is on the increase. Securing your passport, plane tickets, credit cards, cash and jewelry in a safe place that you control is essential. Instead of hiding these items in your room or turning them over to the hotel for "safe keeping," you can rent a safe deposit box in a bank vault for as little as $25 per week.
For residents, renting a safe deposit box is even more important. For example, many people don't know that the title to their home or condo is similar to a "bearer bond" - whoever holds it, owns it. Homes have been literally sold out from under the owners because many of these people did not understand the importance of keeping their title safe. You simply cannot afford to leave such an important document in a file at home or a lawyer's office.
Some people think portable safes are the solution. They're not. In fact, the presence of an in-home safe could make you more of a target for in-home invasion. That same informal network of local communication which allows total strangers to know so much about you is the same network which communicates who has what in their homes. It far safer, and smarter, to allow professionals to secure your most important documents and other items.
