it would be much easier for a thief to wrap a logging chain or cable around the safe and yank it out of your garage floor with his 4x4.
. But this doesn't improve the value of the contents a whole lot!

I bought my safe about a year ago and I feel much better owning it. I started out with it in the garage but it was in view of the neighbors when the door was open. That fact, combined with the moisture issues, let me to relocating it inside. I am glad I did and it isn't as obtrusive as I feared it would be (in a closet). There are many people who come over to our house and never see it.

Make sure your safe is not visible when the garage door is open.
Bolt your safe to the garage floor.
I would use the goldenrod to keep the humidity under control but it depends where you live. If you are in Arizona maybe the silica is sufficient. but if you have a power outlet near your safe, just use the rod.
I agree and that's my professional LE opinion.
I would agree with this but add the caveat that if the owner lives in a northern climate like mine in Michigan, I'd try to get at least some layer of insulation either under the safe where it's bolted, or some form of insulation and heat source on the inside bottom of the safe. Really coold concrete and metal don't create the besst combo for storing wood and metal guns.

I guess that's why I've never considered long term gun storage in my garage in Michigan.
