Recommend me a personal documents safe

Just looking for recommendations for a personal documents safe to store my passport, birth cert, etc.

I rent so I won't be able to bolt it down, but just something that's gonna be reasonably hard to break into and fireproof is what I'm after.

  • Bunnings sells safe's, and fire proof ones too.
    Maby office works.

  • Store it at ur work? If u work in office pretty safe here

  • I got a small Honeywell safe to store documents in but I don't use it for that purpose because I found that paper goes mouldy in there. It is a humidity factory. I tried using silica gel moisture absorbing sachets- hassle- but it did not seem to fix the problem Maybe I didn't regenerate them often enough- hassle. Now I keep the docs in a manilla folder in a desk drawer.

    Is the problem of humidity a general safe problem or is it particular to my humid climate?

    thief 1 "just take it to a 10 storey car park and drop it on to the concrete below to crack it"

    • thief 2 "dam no green stuff or shiny stuff"

    • …so where would you suggest storing important documents?

      • False bottom draw.
        Behind fridge.
        Under kitchen cupboards - remove the skirting board stuff.
        Within couch.
        In ceiling.
        Within a crappy coat that hangs on the back of your bedroom door.
        In cistern
