That would be my fear as well.


From my limited knowledge of the subject (based mostly on Discovery Channel and TLC shows on theft), it wouldn't matter if the camera gear is stored in a bright yellow Peli case, in a camera bag in the closet, or stashed in several drawers around the house. 'Professional' thieves will be in and out in minutes and are very thorough. The home security system will deter 'casual' thieves, and the gear is covered by separate insurance against loss. The case isn't to protect from theft (ultimately, nothing can prevent that), but from other unexpected occurrences - burst pipes, toddler hands, etc... Insurance covers those things, too, but the cases are inexpensive self-insurance.

A 1600 pound box to store your camera gear??
