You are missing the point :) In a situation where the doors (here Windows :p) are left wide open, instead of closing and securing them you are trying to hide the valuables under the carpet. Even if you put them in a safe (encrypt with some master password) the villains have it easy to walk into the house and install spy cameras everywhere so they can peak at your combination or simply just steal the entire safe and brute-force it later.
