    Why do you need a safe?

    Just put your important/valuable stuff in cardboard boxes in your garage next to your sedan.

    When I later went to move it from garage into the basement of the house, it was more complicated but still did it with just myself a buddy and some slight assistance from wife. Also used the winch in the Jeep and related gear, but I had special circumstances.
    Would this not also require that your vehicle be equipped with a hitch and capable of towing? I'm not sure, but can a hitch be rented as well and installed on any vehicle?

    Mt Everest Moving out of Lititz is who I had haul mine ~1hr and put in my walk in basement about 5 years ago. Worth the investment IMO, think was $350 or 400

    If you don't have a hitch, you can rent a truck from Home Depot too.

    Conrad is the owner, young guy with lots of ambition.

    They specialize in large, bulky or otherwise awkward items like pianos, or in this case safes.

    Call Ken Piestrak in Nanticoke, PA (Liberty Safe of NEPA).

    Best prices on safes & they move/install.

    VERY reasonable.

    Piestrak's has been in the sporting goods business for 50 years - they are obviously doing things right!

    He'll be doing more gun shows later this year (ie Morgantown, Oaks...)

    Good to know, couldnt have told you names anymore. Money to be made if you got the right business though, and personal drive.

    Piestraks was highly recommended when I was looking. I went with Richland Shooters as I know them well, but Piestraks was going to be next if Richland didn't pan out
