After having lived through a number of wildfires in Big Sur, CA during the 1990s, I constantly worry about fire. While a home that I was living in never burned down while I was living in it, four different homes that I did live in burned down AFTER I lived in them. For many years, I kept everything of value in a large safe deposit box at the bank, but over time, I've added more larger display items to my collection, so it's no longer possible. Eventually, I moved out of a high-risk neighborhood — it's nice to live so close to nature in California, but risk just wasn't worth it anymore for me. Now I live in the flatlands of a metropolis, where I worry less about fire, and more about theft.
