Pimay1 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 These safes here in Thailand can be opened with a sturdy can opener. The shell is very thin. Make a hole in the top of the safe, pop in the can opener and soon you are inside the safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! if you just pee on it will erode in about 3 minutes As with all things - buy a "cheapie-charlie" and you'll get crap. If you buy a safe buy a decent one! There are really good ones available here but they cost a little bit more. I'd avoid the small fit in the wall types too - I know at least 2 people who have had these chisled out of the wall and stolen, both in the UK.

landslide Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You've got to spend the money on a decent safe. Then have it anchored to the floor with lag bolts of at least 3 inched in depth into the concrete. If you make sure the safe is flush to the floor, the theif will not be able to get a crow bar under the frame. That would eliminate 99% of the thefts.

IAMSOBAD Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 The safe cannot stop the family members from taking his stash. They had a few days to drain this guy while they occupied him while he was out of town. How convenient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is, if I spend the money to buy one of those better rated safe's, I have no use for the safe anymore 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying that it's a sensationalist headline. Instead of saying "200,000 baht of gold was stolen" they could have just said like "A couple of gold necklaces and some Euro were stolen", but that wouldn't have been as exciting.
