Does anyone actually have home safes or does everyone just use bank safes? (or do you hide stuff under your mattress?) (sh.itjust.works)

My family's legal documents are being kept somewhere at home, and its kinda weird to think about, like zero security, I doubt its even fireproof, definitely not waterproof, some flood is gonna destroy it.

Banks have made it really difficult to rent safety deposit boxes lately. It used to be a common account benefit but I can't find any within a reasonable distance of me since 2023, and none which are included as an account benefit. A fireproof safe is good enough and the types of documents I put in it aren't truly irreplaceable anyways, just really hard/annoying to replace. I doubt many people use their fireproof safe for truly valuable items that would be attractive to thieves. My fireproof safe doesn't even have a proper lock.
