Watch out for 'Fireproof Safes'!! I bought a nice smaller one $300+. It might save things in a fire, but, at least mine, must have not kept out moisture. I was thinking on placing a couple of nice handguns in it, glad I did not. After two months I opened the safe and found evrything inside becomming quite moldy. Now I had $5k of damp funny smelling cash! That mositure would have played havoc on the pistols. I have now relocated the safe and added disacent(sp) bags to it and have had not further problems, but will not store handguns in it. Maybe the safes 'hidding place' in the basement lead to this problem.
