I was going to post pics of my collection, but figure I'll just ask since this seems the place to ask.
How do you all feel about storing your collections out in the open?
I'm used to having my collection in my enclosed bedroom, but am finally moving out to an apartment at the beginning of August and am now running into that problem of where to store my DVDs. With a smaller bedroom and large living area, it just seems to make the most sense to move them out of the bedroom.
So, those of you in apartments and even in your houses, how do you feel about your fears of guests or maintenance people swiping your DVDs?

While I was living in an apartment, I kept DVD bookshelves and collection in my bedroom, mainly because of the fact that the bookshelves would have dominated my living room. Now that I own my own home, I keep them upstairs in my office, for the same reason.

In my current place, I wanted to place my dvds in the living room along a wall or 2nd bedroom along the wall. Once I got my stuff in though (couch and bed) I realized I did not have enough space thats how they ended up in the closet.
I'm not afraid of maintance folks taking my other personal things, so I'm not afraid of them taking my dvds.

Wow, dejavu!
I'm not too worried about my DVDs walking away, we don't have that many people over and those that do come over I would be shocked if anyone "borrowed" them without asking.

I got a question about organizing my shelves. I currently have an area for TV, Criterion, Sports, Stand-Up/Music, animated, and then everything else. But with a new shelf on the way i need to make another catagory. I was thinking box sets but wasn't sure. Any idea's? thanks

When I was in my apartment, I had locking cabinets in my living room. Sure, a determined burglar could get in them, but the "casual" thief, like a apartment complex maintenance guy with keys to my place, would not be able to get in without it being noticeable.
Now that I have my house, my HT is in the basement, and most of my DVD's are on shelves I mounted or open stands. Very few people come over, and no one is ever in the basement unattended if they do come over.

Kocheese99, thats exactly how I have my collection set up. I have a shelf for boxsets, it was first done for trilogies and then I realized I had boxsets like the Marx Bros collection, and they had to go somewhere so I just added them to that shelf.
Also with my Criterions I add all "classic" films. These include any 2 disc Warners and any black and white films.
Near them I also have multidisc sets like the 4-disc Kingdom of heaven, extended cuts/multi disc versions of films. On a different shelf I keep all slipcases together.
So for example the new versions fo Con Air etc, are kept on the slipcase shelf because it is only a 2 disc edition.

I haven't had anybody ask me for awhile but since I had one come back scratches as well as the case pretty dinged up I haven't been offering. I let my brother-in-law borrow some because he is even pickier than I am.

Or do you mean like the truly special Ed. like Gone With the Wind 4 disk, HellBoy 3disk, Munich SE, etc.. Thanks for the help.
and for the batman set, i do put any other movie that is in the series like batman begins. I also put all of Romero's zombie movies together with the boxset of Dawn of the Dead. some pics are here
