Is your security safe secure?

[stubuzz]

I have been looking for a new safe and it seems that nearly all here are just fireproof document safes that offer very little resistance to theft.

Below is an example.

They whoever would have there work cut out just getting the safe out of where it's positioned in our bedroom before using angle grinders.

It all depends where you place it , and if to secure it to wall or floor,

no safe is secure from a determined safe cracker ,if they have the

knowledge and the tools , and the most important part ,the time.

 

most will be secure from your opportunist burglar ,who just wants'

to grab something valuable ,and get out.which means most burglars.

Exactly.
 

We have placed our safe in a very secure location, only 3 people know the location and even if someone else knows where the safe is, it will be a difficult job to remove it / open it with angle grinders

To mislead a would be thief, i keep all my valuables in another hiding place in the house and let the thief sweat and waste time to crack it open and find 2 roles of toilet paper in there...

And may make him wait for your return with 2 rounds of 9mm.

Knew a guy who worked at the America Embassy years ago. Went away for the weekend telling security at his condo when he would be back. When he returned someone had cut through his safe with one of those oxy torches and stolen thousands of dollars. If you have got one tell nobody, and never tell security what you are doing. My Mrs used to always until I told her not to.

On the other hand - an angry thief could cause a lot of damage. Perhaps better not such a joke.
