> regular people aren’t equipped to store gold in their homes

I don't see why not?

I have never had a break-in, but if I did I'm sure I could hide a few kilos well enough that a regular burglar would never find it.

Either way, my gold is in a bank vault, which seems safe enough, but I honestly would not be too worried storing it at home.

Not on their own, but once they've found you, they've found the gold.

If people routinely stored gold bars at home it would improve the cost-benefit ratio of breaking into people's homes.
