About three quarters of the boxes in the vault were open and unused.
I have a fireproof wall safe at home. I am sure any determined thief could crack it, but I consider that to be an unlikely event. I know of only one burglary in The Villages, and in that instance only dresser drawers were emptied, as it appeared the ransacking was brief and unskilled.

The unused boxes are probably because the younger generations now don't have the wealth to worry about important papers or valuables being compromised.
