* In at least two of the ''[[Harry Potter (
** Assuming that Hogwarts is ''still'' the safest place, that would mean the rest of the world is even worse. This was generally the case, {{spoiler|up until the seventh year. Once it becomes the absolute ''least'' safe place, attendance is mandatory.}}
** Of course, most of the time the reason of Hogwarts's unsafeness is because Voldemort is targeting it. Usually because something he wants is there. And it's there ''because'' Hogwarts is the safest place, which makes it a self-defeating safety (quite like in ''[[Panic Room]]'' where said room turns out dangerous because what the intruders want is inside).
* In ''[[Dawn of the Dead (
== [[Literature]] ==
* In the second Percy Jackson book, ''[[Percy Jackson and The Olympians|Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters]]'', {{spoiler|Camp Half Blood}} is "no longer safe" because someone has poisoned Thalia's pine tree, which usually keeps the camp safe from outside monsters. However, the camp was never safe from anyone on the inside who wanted to hurt anyone else on the inside, as demonstrated by the ending of the first book.
* In ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'', the orphans must send a message that "The Last Safe Place is safe no more". Given [[Crapsack World|the kind of world they live in]], it should come as no surprise that the Hotel Denouement wasn't all that safe to begin with.
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[The Walking Dead]]'': The main characters are investigating an old department store when the sheriff's deputy arrives and basically alerts all the zombies in the city to their presence by shooting at some of them. One of the characters says something like: "You just rang the dinner bell," as if the zombies pounding on the department store's glass doors ''already'' wouldn't have made them unsafe anyway. No, no... the sheriff got them in trouble when they would have been perfectly and completely safe otherwise.
** The survivors are basically camping out in the open, on top of a hill, with almost no fortifications, and are ''shocked and dismayed'' when a zombie finally invades their campsite.
** The [[The Walking Dead (
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Gears of War|Gears of War 2]]'', a stranded soldier claims "the surface wasn't safe anymore".
* In ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak]]'', the level "The Hive" opens in Raccoon City Hospital. There are zombies bashing on the front doors, the doctors are gone, the halls are filled with bloodstains and corpses. The first thing the last surviving doctor says is "This hospital is not as safe as it may look or sound." Thanks.
