Yeah, it's really sad.
Regarding a storage safe, I did a bunch of research on them and then decided to not put my art portfolios in a safe. If you get a true fire resistive one, the materials that are used to keep it resistive for an hour or more hold some kind of moisture in them. When the safe is locked, it doesn't allow the paper to breathe, and the moisture in the materials can actually mess up the art. In the end, I decided I wasn't going to pay a lot of money to protect my end and inadvertantly end up messing it up in the process.
