My family’s legal documents are being kept somewhere at home, and its kinda weird to think about, like zero security, I doubt its even fireproof, definitely not waterproof, some flood is gonna destroy it.

    My mom bought me a fireproof safe because she was giving me some jewelry to hold for my kids, and she also had some documents for me to keep.

    It sat on the floor under a bed for years. Then I decided to get appraisals of the jewelry to add it to my homeowners insurance.

    When I opened the safe, everything in it was moist and moldy.

    Nothing important was lost or damaged, but it was nasty as hell.
