Love that vault suggestion, but for a lot of folks, a safety deposit box might be sufficient (with your own enclosure within it using tamper evident stickers).

Having moved 5+ times in the last decade, I'd dread thinking about having to move that safe you linked to.

We are a military family so we typically move every two or three years. My vault weighs about 900 pounds but the movers never have any trouble with it. In fact, the guy that installed it was an old man driving a pick up truck. He used an amazing motorized dolly that had no problem pushing it around and could climb stairs.

My vault is bolted 4" into reinforced concrete using bolts that are only accessible from inside the vault. Unless you have the combination to open the vault first, you're going to have to rip out the slab to get this thing out of my garage.

Movable safe? Doesn't sound very safe to me...

The idea is that the mount points are only accessible from inside the safe. The open safe is easy to move, the closed one less so.
