In Reply to: freezer as fire safe? posted by Chris Jones on August 01, 2012 at 18:55:13:
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. I might keep $200 here at times so I have some cash on hand for an emergency. I'm not afraid of banks just like to have a bit of actual cash on hand.
The freezer is convenient and something my parents and grandparents did before me. I just began to wonder about the wisdom there and when I Googled for an answer I found nothing I noted as credible and the opinions varied widely. So I hoped to hear from some firemen who've probably could speculate from what they've seen. I'd have to guess that a fridge is still mostly identifiable after most home fires even if the roof collapsed. But I've never seen a fridge after a fire and I don't know if as some folks say the insulation burns and the food that was inside is incinerated or if the labels on the frozen pizza boxes can still be read.
I have a small (about 1 foot cube) firesafe sitting in the floor of my office. Not much in it but the title to my car and a copy of last years tax returns. I leave the key in it as I don't want a thief to take it. I hope he'll open it and notice there is nothing he can buy crack with in it and thus leave it rather than assume because it's locked it's full of diamonds and carry it out.
The fridge is more convenient for the cash and perhaps less likely to be found in there under the frozen peas than in the safe. That'd be a good question for a police officer. When investigating burglaries do you notice they usually empty the freezer? Which would be a sign they search for cash there.

Today's Featured Article - Two-Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. Whether for product liability or because the aftermarket parts and labor business is lucrative, this concept is disturbingly prevalent. Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
