I joined forces with two friends and fellow set designers to start a small design shop in 2006. One of our clients has been Foo Fest here in Providence, RI. We do it for love and make little profit but have done fairly well with no major losses.
We run most of our business online but from time to time we go to the office to pick up materials. This is a small space that we basically use for storage, so we are only ever over at the office when we drop off or pick up materials.
When we found out there had been a robbery two doors away, we realized the naivete of securing our store room with nothing more than a lock and key. We decided it was time to buy some real self defense devices to protect our business.
While shopping for a security alarm system online, I came across diversion safes, which are safes made to look like something else to divert attention from them. They resemble everyday items in look and feel, down to the weight.
For instance a soda can or flower pot can have safes in them. The funny thing is that they are fake common items so they provide a real defense against burglars.
This is a real and inexpensive way for a small business entrepreneur to keep their valuables safe. We purchased a few different safes to that we could not only hide our money but that we could hide the keys to our other storage rooms.
There are other diversion safes we ordered to keep our bank account numbers and PINs in. These look like Arizona Tea bottles and Pringles cans, we keep those in the kitchen!
I feel safe with the diversion safes that we purchased. Even is someone decided to go through all of our cabinets they would not think twice to stop and open a can of food.
