A domestic helper found a key and password to her employer's safe and helped herself to the money inside, remitting some to her family back in her home country. When she was arrested by police and sent to prison, they further found $5000 hidden in her person during a cavity search.
Placing safe boxes in residences open access to frenemy and domestic helpers, moreover, it does not protect contents from fire hazards from neighbours. Most safe boxes are light and they use a combination of PIN and an optional key, both of which are also not bound to the owner but to the bearer.
