<p>In an old thread, someone mentioned a box to lock valuables. Is something like that needed for things like cameras, i-pods and cash? If so, what do people use? I would never have thought of this if I hadn't read it. Thanks.</p>

<p>It's certainly not a <em>bad</em> idea, especially if you are in a dorm room with more than one person and the other(s) leave(s) things open all the time. If you are keeping a suitcase with you that has a combo or a key that might be one place to store stuff.</p>

<p>I think I asked about that last year. I asked because I carry important personal documents with me and replacing them would be a pain. I found that I didn't really need a locked box or anything like that because the dorm room is pretty secure. As long as you use some common sense like lock your doors when you go out and stuff it's usually fine to just put stuff in a box or envelope and put it in your drawer.</p>

<p>On the other hand, a safe deposit box at the local wachovia can't be that expensive right? ;)</p>
