loackable storage in the home

rabbit8587

Hi.... recently split with my ex but we are still living together in the same house while it gets sold.

I was just wondering, in the interests of privacy is there anywhere i can securely store some of my things in my bedroom (small items only, financial papers, and things like laptop etc)?

When I google it, I get taken to sites pointing to huge storage containers that u store sofas and things in

Thanks in advance xx

Though you wouldnt get your laptop in there....couldnt you just put a password on to your laptop to stop that being tampered with?

Although I am thinking you could just get a laptop lock as they are sometimes under £3 delivered?

Robert Dyas tends to have great safe offers

Why not just lock it into a suitcase?

Unless you intend sinking these safes into concrete or similar then they can be lifted and taken away by anyone so fairly pointless.

Thanks for all your replies. Yes if he was really desparate he could move a safe by then more fool him. If he is willing to go to those lengths then he's willing to do anything. Can't believe I didn't think of a suitcase, that's a very simple way of keeping certain things private. Thanks everyone

not that hard to get around

securing it in a safe is better imo

it all comes down to how determined they are to go through your stuff

Office suppliers have a range of half- and full-height locakble steel cupboards- about £150 inc VAT for a half-height one. Or ordinary metal filing cabinets can be picked up for not-a-lot if scruffy at salerooms etc.

As you want to get your paperwork sorted out what with moving house etc it would hardly be provocative to pick up a filing cabinet to get yourself organised.
