I will relate this story again for the benefit of my FRiends...

A friend of mine took possession of physical PMs...a lot of PMs.

One fine morning her husband walked into the garage and was met by a man in a ski mask with a pistol.

If her husband had not been an incredibly brave and strong 70 year old man, they would both have been dead after the obligatory torture session.

As it turned out, both hubbie and she were badly bloodied but alive as the robber escaped dropping his mask and zip ties as he fled.

The robber looked like an absolutely normal white guy like you would see shopping at Wallymart. No tats, piercings, etc.

The robber was never caught.

My friend had not told anyone that she had PMs. Who knew? The coin shop? The UPS driver?

Remember OPSEC at all times. Do not keep PMs in your gunsafe, home, or other obvious place.

And you can't trust bank safety deposit boxes, either, as any run on the bank will also block access to your box.

So what is the answer? Get creative with your home remodeling.

I imagine that you assume everybody intuitively understands the abbreviation "PM". Well, you'd be wrong, at least for this FRiend.

why don't you define it for us; it would make your story so much more interesting.

"OPSEC"

I'm of the believe that probably 75% of 'OPSEC' is people keeping their damn mouths shut, and preventing outside knowledge of what you have.

Silly story. It is totally easy and reliable to purchase precious metals through the mail and have no one within a thousand miles of you know or care what that package was that you got on Friday.

Even if someone doesn't know you have PMs, just seeing a gun safe will clue them in that you have something worth stealing. Safe deposit boxes are also suspect, since I don't trust the government to stay out of them. Hiding within the walls of a house or something similar is dangerous in the event of fire.
