Stay Safe WRITTEN BY MEGIN POTTER PHOTOS PROVIDED
When we lose something, we cannot just step into a time machine to get it back. Instead, we can prepare now and protect our valuables before they are ever lost. “When I see things like the terrible California wildfires that destroyed so many homes and then not see one safe standing among the rubble, I ask myself, ‘Where are all the safes? Those people lost so much stuff and that stuff is hard to replace. I think if they’d just had a safe,” said Bob Neville.
PRIVATE EYES “Everyone has valuables, but most people don’t have safes,” said Neville. As co-owners of 3N Document Destruction, brothers Dave and Bob Neville have been trusted to keep sensitive information private for 26 years. Why do people trust them? It’s all in the eyes. Bob Neville says people feel comfortable with him because he is the type of guy who looks you in the eye when he’s talking to you. “You are your word. When you tell someone something, you have to follow-through. We seal a deal with a handshake. A deal’s a deal. We’re old-school like that,” he said. Building trust is a skill the brothers learned from their parents, who were married for 62 years.
