It is only natural that we want to do everything in our power to protect those that are dear to us. It is an even stronger urge when it is a loved one or an item that has sentimental value so high that it can never be replaced. Out of fear of the worst happening, folks tend to keep their treasures close no matter how unreasonable it may be. There is an old practice that elderly folks did in the past where they refused to used banks and kept money around their home. Although it's crazy to imagine now, you'll understand when you have something so valuable you simply don't want to risk anything to happen to it. This is true for artisanal products or tools specifically made for a purpose that you hold dear to you.
