While it would be nice to have something that could withstand a casual burglar, the more likely threat to my stuff is a house fire.

Where is the best for a safe to survive in a burning building, but also not be visible to anyone and remain thermally neutral?

Fire safes are passive thermal sinks that reflect and damp heat transfer for as long as possible before ultimately turning into a giant heavy toaster oven. I wonder if active fire safes are a thing? Imagine the security of a safe but with an armored thermal pipe sticking out the top that goes to a heat sink somewhere outdoors. Kind of like AC but for precious documents / grandpa’s watch. I guess you’d want it to fuse and fall off if the pipe started piping heat into the safe.

You want a floor safe in your basement.

How do you mitigate the flood risk in a basement. Sewer malfuntioning, heavy rain, but also firefighters flooding your burning house?

I would think (no numbers to back it up) for most houses the risk of flooding is higher that the risk of burning down

Keep in mind safes have a rated drop height usually only one floor
