a safe is very apparent, if you have a safe in the middle of the
room then a robber would look in the safe and not a book in the
book shelf, not to mention the code you need to get into the
safe you could easily forget. But if you hada book that was on
say: "the history of vaults" or "Bill Gates, Microsaoft genius"
then you would have no problem finding it if you knew what to
look for.
