So I am in the process of getting a gun safe (RSC for the nit picky). It is going to be pretty well hidden. That being said, I do have an NRA sticker on my car, so its possible someone burglarizing me would be searching for guns.
I am considering getting a cheap metal gun cabinet and putting it in my bedroom (seems like a place they would look) and put a cheap $100 muzzleloader rifle, some pistol cases with metal airsoft guns in them, and some fake jewelry. Let them waste some time prying the thing open and thinking they hit the jackpot while completely missing the real safe.
It seems like if I bother spending money on such a cabinet, it could be a good place to store my ammo.
Sooooo... do you guys think burglars who just wasted 5 minutes prying open a big tin box would waste time hauling out very heavy 50cal ammo cans? Seems silly to put things of real value in there when the point is diversion, but I just didn't think smash-n-grabbers would bother with ammo cans when you can only carry 2 at a time and there are (what you think are) guns and TVs to carry out.
Thoughts?
