Please take the time to think carefully about the secure storage of your valuables. First of all: photograph and document all valuable jewellery, photographic equipment, genuine carpets, antiques, etc. in your household. In the event of a burglary, this helps both investigators—who can immediately identify recovered items—and insurance companies in accurately assessing the damage.

It may be worth considering the purchase of a safe, either freestanding or built into the wall of your home. It is important to ensure that it is tested and certified quality. You can open your safe either with a key or a numerical combination. A combination lock is often a good option, as it avoids the need to store a physical key securely outside your home. The professionals at Amper Ausfperrdienst in Munich will be happy to advise you on all questions regarding your own safe.

Valuables and documents that you do not need frequently are best kept in a bank safe deposit box. Ask your bank about rental conditions.
